Edition 2025 — Pilgrimage of the Elderly

In 2025, Castiglione delle Stiviere also celebrated March 9th, the anniversary of the birth of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, with solemn celebrations in the saint's hometown, following the Aloysian devotion that each year draws faithful from all over the Diocese of Mantua.

March 9th, the day of the birth of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, has always been a significant date for Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN), the saint's hometown. In 2025, the community and the Diocese of Mantua honored the anniversary with liturgical celebrations dedicated to the patron saint, protector of youth. The tradition of March 9th, along with that of June 21st, marks the deep bond between the city and its most illustrious saint, in view of the extraordinary solemnities of the 2026 Aloysian Year.
