Pellegrinaggio Macerata - Loreto
The Walking Pilgrimage from Macerata to Loreto was established in 1978, the year of John Paul II’s election. A religion teacher from Macerata, Father Giancarlo Vecerrica, proposed it to his students as thanksgiving gesture to the Virgin Mary at the end of the school year: in this way an ancient tradition was recovered, which was disappearing in the contemporary secularization. Only three hundred or so people attended the first pilgrimage; however, in the following years the number increased extraordinarily, and today it exceeds sixty thousand participants.
Fondazione Giovanni Paolo II
The John Paul II Foundation was established on July 18, 2005 on the initiative of H. E. Msgr. Luigi Negri with the purpose of disseminating the Social Doctrine of the Church and in particular the reflection and systematic study of the works and thought of John Paul II.
