About Feast of Saint Catherine
Saint Catherine, patron saint of Albosaggia
Albosaggia, a municipality in the province of Sondrio overlooking Valtellina, has Saint Catherine of Alexandria as its patron saint, to whom the village's parish church is dedicated. Her liturgical feast day falls on November 25th and gives rise to the patronal feast, a central moment in the community calendar.
Between church and oratory
The celebrations are divided between the parish church and the oratory, with solemn Eucharistic celebrations and community gatherings organized by the parish. The Sunday closest to the feast day becomes the highlight, when the entire community comes together to honor its patron saint.
