A Journey Between Spirituality and Territory

From Spring to Spring. Spirituality on the Move” is the diocesan pilgrimage organized by Catholic Action of the Diocese of Padua in Abano Terme, in the heart of the Euganean Spas. An event that combines the dimension of walking with that of prayer, immersed in the landscape of the Euganean Hills.

The Route

It starts from the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Health in Monteortone, a place linked to an ancient Marian tradition and the presence of thermal waters, to arrive at the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Abano Terme. The title “from spring to spring” directly refers to this link between the springs of the territory and the spiritual spring of baptism.

Moments of the Pilgrimage

  • Moments of silence and meditation along the way
  • Testimonies on the faith lived in daily life
  • The rediscovery of the meaning of baptism
  • The concluding Mass in the afternoon

The initiative is aimed at adults and families and is part of the educational path of the diocesan Catholic Action.
