Pilgrimage Teglio-Tirano
Pilgrimage Teglio – Tirano of 29 September 2019 with inauguration of the Teglio-Tirano leg “of the Marian Way of the Alps”
Success beyond all possible expectations of the event organized for the Feast of the Apparition which included the Pilgrimage from Teglio to Tirano and at the same time the inauguration of the arrival stage on the western route of the Marian Way of the Alps. The great popular participation and enthusiasm with which everyone has walked with us in friendship, will be a fundamental stimulus to continue, with the same tenacity maintained so far, in the activities for the development of our Valtellinese journey. The executive project was carried out on a mandate from the Province of Sondrio in synergy with the Municipality of Tirano in record time. The works to complete the route will continue for the development of the entire journey in the months to come with the wider involvement of the local institutions. We have to thank a lot of people for the organizational result of the pilgrimage, not only the “cammIKAndo” Volunteers but also the citizens who have freely contributed in different ways and the institutions of the territory, Province and Municipality in the first place. Special thanks to Don Michele who accompanied us by sharing moments of prayer, reflection and silence; he conquered everyone with his open smile and his innate availability. Many thanks also to your assistant Davide. During a short stop, Mrs. Anna of the Altavilla restaurant in Bianzone refreshed the many pilgrims with hot tea and tart, managing not to be frightened by the crowd in front of her! Umberto and Elisa surprised the participants with a delicate and appreciated musical moment at the church of Santa Perpetua, it was a gift for everyone! And then again our gratitude to the project partners, to Don Flavio, Mario, Gianluca ,, Ceci, Mik, Ercole, Mauro, Plinio, Sandra, Gabriele, all the other friends of Piazza Basilica, would be an endless list, therefore no one feel excluded, we appreciated everyone’s help. With Valtellinaccessible-dappertutto we have been able to live a new experience and we would like that, after this special alliance, this is only the first of a long series. Our gratitude also goes to those who have collaborated in the management of this program. Appreciated and engaging the personal greeting that the Bishop, Archbishop Oscar Cantoni wished to reserve to each Pilgrim for the delivery of the Certificate of participation in the first Pilgrimage on the “Marian Way of the Alps”. Dear Pellegrini, The merit of the success of the day is also yours, see you soon, it was beautiful we hope to have you with us again for the next initiatives.
Long live the “Marian Way of the Alps”!
Ultreya, always!
