Celebration of the Camillian Fraternity of Casale Monferrato, Tuesday 18 June 2019 – The religious were at Casale from 1829 to 1989

   On Tuesday 18 June 2019, in the Church of St. Paul, the annual meeting will take place of the fraternity of the Camillian fathers. For the first time this will be held in Piedmont. This choice has its justification. The aim is to strengthen the relationships of the religious of the new Province of North Italy. In truth, the exchanges between the religious of Piedmont and the religious of Lombardy and Veneto have always been frequent and affable. In addition, the choice of the house of Casale was made to evoke a page of its history and to remember, in particular, the birth of the Province of Piedmont.

The decree on its erection was signed on 28 August 1834 by Cardinal Giuseppe Morozzo Della Rocca, the Bishop of Novara and the Apostolic Visitor and Delegate for all the regular Orders that existed in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The house of Casale played an important role. It was the point of reference for the creation of the autonomous Province, something strongly wished for by Cardinal Morozzo himself.
