Behold a story of faith rising from humble beginnings. The story of Chiesa cattolica parrocchiale Santa Maria Maddalena begins not with grand pronouncements. It starts with a simple need.
In 1952 a chapel opened its doors. It served the spiritual needs of a growing community in Poggi Sant’Anna near Trieste. The Pio Istituto Caccia-Burlo Garofolo provided the space. This act of generosity laid the foundation for what was to come.
The small chapel was blessed on May 5 1955. Years passed. The community flourished. On December 13 1965 the parish of Santa Maria Maddalena was officially established. It marked a new chapter for the faithful in this area.
Initially the parish was linked to S. Lorenzo di Servola. However it soon gained independence. Parish activities began independently on December 8 1968. This independence allowed the community to focus on its specific needs.
The Chiesa cattolica parrocchiale Santa Maria Maddalena received civil recognition on March 28 1967. This recognition paved the way for further development. Architect Giuseppe Giannini designed a new parish complex.
The complex included a new church also dedicated to Santa Maria Maddalena. On May 20 1970 Archbishop Antonio Santin consecrated the altar. He blessed the new church and opened it for worship. This marked a significant milestone.
Today the Chiesa cattolica parrocchiale Santa Maria Maddalena stands as a testament to faith. It serves a community of over 2200 residents. The parish office is located on Via Pagano. You can contact them by phone or email.
The current pastor is Sac. Francesco Faraci. He continues the pastoral work begun decades ago. The church remains a vital part of the community in Poggi Sant’Anna. It offers spiritual guidance and support to all who seek it. The Chiesa cattolica parrocchiale Santa Maria Maddalena is more than just a building. It is a living symbol of faith and community.
