Eremo di Santa Caterina del Sasso

Hours

Holy Mass: every Sunday at 16.30

The Sacristy is also available to groups of pilgrims who request Holy Mass services at other times. The Sacristy provides pilgrims with everything required in order to celebrate a Holy Mass: chalices, ciboria, hosts, vestments, etc. If there is a large number of priests, each priest is requested to bring his own alb. The Sacristy does not usually make any charge, but groups are free to make a collection during the Holy Mass or to leave a donation.
