90 years of the Betharramite presence at Colico
Sunday 9 December - The religious and the laity of the Italian Vicariate met at Colico (Como) to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the presence of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Betharram at the seminary of “Santa Teresa del Bambino Gesù”, which would then become the “Collegio del Sacro Cuore”.
During the celebration of the Holy Mass - with the participation of numerous Betharramites - a relic of Saint Michael Garicoits, recently found in the Church, was blessed.
At the end of the celebration, the local Authorities, together with the Regional Vicar in Italy, Fr. Piero Trameri SCJ, placed a plaque at the “Ca’ Bepin” (Joseph’s House), located near the Church of Villatico (hamlet of Colico), where the first Betharramite seminarians were accommodated in 1928.
