About Saint Liberal

The Festival of Saint Liberal celebrates on April 27th the patron saint of the city and diocese of Treviso. The heart of the day is the solemn Eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral, presided over by the Bishop in the presence of civil authorities, accompanied by cultural and religious initiatives involving churches, museums, and places of worship in the historic center. A city festival that intertwines religious tradition, identity, and historical memory of the Marca Trevigiana.

The Patron Saint of Treviso

Saint Liberal is the patron saint of the city and diocese of Treviso, celebrated every year on April 27th. A soldier who became a saint according to tradition, he is a figure deeply rooted in the identity of the Marca Trevigiana, also venerated in Castelfranco Veneto. The festival is one of the most heartfelt events in the city's calendar.

The Celebration in the Cathedral

The central moment is the solemn Eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral (the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle), presided over by the Bishop of Treviso in the presence of civil authorities. During the Mass, significant moments of diocesan life are renewed, in an event that unites the religious community and city institutions.

A Day of Initiatives

Around the liturgical celebration, the day of Saint Liberal offers cultural meetings, extraordinary openings of churches and museums, and guided tours of the symbolic places of the historic center, such as the Church of Saint Francis and the Baptistery of Saint John the Baptist. The festival, recognized as a city holiday, is an opportunity to rediscover the historical and spiritual heritage of Treviso and its diocese.
