“Tears of sorrow, tears of joy,” the old woman whispered, clutching her rosary beads tighter. We stand before the Gesù Crocifisso e Madonna delle Lacrime, a place where emotions run deep. This church, tucked away on Via Giaveno in Turin, isn’t just a building. It’s a vessel of shared experiences, echoing with prayers whispered over decades. The Gesù Crocifisso e Madonna delle Lacrime became a parish in 1962 under Don Carlo Vallaro. Imagine the countless souls who have sought solace within these walls since then. The church has seen a procession of devoted leaders. From Don Franco Pioli to Don Stefano Cheula, each has left their mark on this community. Today, Don Antonio Borio guides the flock as the parish administrator. The church is more than just a place of worship. It is a vibrant hub of community life. Mass is celebrated regularly, offering a spiritual anchor for the faithful. Weekday mass is held at 5 PM, except Mondays. On Sundays, the community gathers at 10:30 AM. If you need to speak with Don Antonio, remember to schedule an appointment. He dedicates his time to listening and providing guidance. The Gesù Crocifisso e Madonna delle Lacrime is a sanctuary of shared moments. It is a testament to the enduring power of faith and community in the heart of Turin.
