stevenspringer,

Am just checking with a friend now who is very religious and even he is having a hard time. Perhaps you could write to a church in Grassano with a small donation and see if they will sent it to you. I know people who have done this before..

These are some churches I found while doing a quick search..

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Neve Church of St. Mary of the Snows
Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine Church of Our Lady of Mount Caramel
Chiesa Madre dedicata a San Giovanni Battista (XVII secolo) Cathedral Church dedicated to St. John the Baptist

Hopefully some one has some other ideas.

stevenspringer

those are churches in Grassano Nuccia? Smile

thanks for the help

Steve, I found this on St. Innocent, the patron of Grassano: membres.lycos.fr/abone.../index.htm

At least this will help you narrow down which St. Innocent you are looking for because it appears that there are several St. Innocents/ Your saint is Innocenzo of Tebaide, a Roman soldier born in 303.

PS: I found this address for the festival committee in Grassano. Surely they would know where you could get a medal.

Comitato Festa Patronale 75014 Grassano (Mt) Italia

Ok I SUPPOSE I should start working, right?

I'm not sure where you live but some of the larger Catholic stores may sell them.

Saint Peter's gift shop carries many medals. Do you have someone in
Rome to go there?
Also, the parish church must have for sure. And, they need donations!

Not all Saints have medallions or statues or items like that. The Patron Saint of my town has only a small card with her official picture on it. Unless you know for sure there is something available you may be asking for something that doesn't exist.

stevenspringer

if something doesnt exist id like to have something for the saint, card too, but i cant even find that on him Sad

After a lot of hunting on an Italian website I found these photos of processions for Sant'Innocenzo and Sant Rocco (?)...

Open this page, click on 'Processione' on the top bar and then scroll down.

This is the only page on this fairly old site that shows religeous photos, but there are plenty of others. The whole site seems to be written in dialect...

Hope it is useful Steven

sant rocco is patron saint of Grottole (maybe more), sant innocenzo is the patron saint of the little town of Grassano Smile

at one point, Grassano was in the "county" of Potenza, now it is in the county of Matera

Hi Steve,

I'm going to ask my priest after mass on sunday if he can order or he knows where you can order something. He seems to be able to pull rabbits out of his hat, maybe he can do it for Sant Innocenzo too! I'll let you know on Sunday if I have any luck.
