Church of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception

Strangely shaped circular church, which was closed when we visited

The beginning of the parish community and therefore the history of the church of the Immaculate Conception of Monte Sant'Angelo dates back to 6 July 1963, the feast of Santa Maria Goretti, a saint who gave the name to the Catholic Parish Action. The first parish priest of the nascent community was Don Donato Notarangelo. Initially the church dedicated to the Conception stood near a chapel which in previous years served as the church of the cemetery, before the latter was moved. The building was small in size and could accommodate very few people for Eucharistic celebrations. Since 1968 there has been a need to build a new and larger church. In 1968 there was a first attempt to build the new church in Piazza Vischi (now Piazza Giovanni Paolo II), but the project failed. You will have to wait until the 80s and to be precise 1982 for the beginning of the works of the building of worship when the parish priest was Don Francesco Accarrino, who succeeded Don Donato in 1973. The place where it will rise was first used as a cemetery of the town Gargano. The construction work will last about two years. It is December 8, 1984, the day on which the new church is opened by Archbishop Valentino Vailati. On 4 June 1995 with the parish priest Don Matteo De Padova the Church was consecrated under the title of Immaculate Conception by Mons. Vincenzo d'Addario.

It is beautiful outside and also inside and only that I think we could add confessionals

The photo is not the right one

Cozy and suggestive. Place of prayer and meditation.
