About Patronal Pastoral Community

On the weekend of Corpus Domini 2026, the first patronal feast of the Pastoral Community, bringing together the parishes of Mozzate, Carbonate, and Locate Varesino, is born in Carbonate, Province of Como. Four days, from June 4th to 7th, of celebrations, testimonies, and activities for young people centered around the figure of Mother Antonia, with the welcoming of the relic, adorations, and the solemn Eucharistic procession.

A New Patronal Feast

In Carbonate, a municipality in the Province of Como bordering the Varese area, the first patronal feast of the Pastoral Community begins in 2026, uniting the parishes of Mozzate, Carbonate, and Locate Varesino. It is an unprecedented event, bringing together the journey of three formerly distinct communities under a single spiritual banner.

In the Spirit of Mother Antonia

The common thread of the feast is the figure of Mother Antonia, explored through four thematic days: her charism, her educational commitment, and her relationship with the Eucharist. The celebration coincides with the solemnity of Corpus Domini and guides the community through a journey that touches the churches and oratories of Carbonate, Locate Varesino, and Mozzate in turn.

Four Days Across the Three Parishes

From the welcoming of the relic to Eucharistic adoration, from evening testimonies to activities for middle and elementary school children, culminating in the solemn celebration and the final Eucharistic procession through the streets of Carbonate, the feast intertwines the liturgical and community dimensions. This event, in its inaugural edition, aims to become a new reference point for the Como area bordering the Province of Varese.
