Giarratana, the procession with the statue of Saint Joseph has been postponed

Due to bad weather, the procession in honor of Saint Joseph, scheduled for Sunday evening in Giarratana, has been postponed to Thursday evening, coinciding with the celebrations of the feast of the Patriarch.

On Sunday afternoon, the traditional “dinner” took place with great participation, featuring the sale of donated products intended to support the festive initiatives.

The program continues today at 6 PM with the evening mass and at 7:30 PM with the final of the billiards tournament and the awards, after the final of the Scala 40 tournament was held yesterday.

Tomorrow, at 6 PM, a special moment: the mass will be presided over by the parish priest, Father Francesco Ottone, and dedicated to all fathers. During the liturgy, there will be an act of entrustment to Saint Joseph and to fathers; at the end, a gift for the family will be presented. During the Eucharistic celebration, the vestition rite of the new altar servers will also take place.

On Thursday the 19th, at 5:30 PM, in the Mother Church, the recitation of the Rosary, the chaplet, and the singing of the litanies of Saint Joseph will be held. At 6:30 PM, there will be a solemn Eucharistic celebration presided over by Father Roberto Asta, general vicar of the diocese of Ragusa. In the evening, the procession will traverse the streets of the Iblean town. Upon return, after the welcome in the square, a fireworks display is planned. The celebration will conclude with the repositioning of the statue of Saint Joseph in the chapel of the main altar.

The priests and the Saint Joseph committee express their gratitude to the faithful for their understanding and for the devotion with which they intend to participate in the celebrations.
