St Joseph's Eve

On 18 March or the Saturday before the Sunday closest to 19 March, the so-called Mass of mento which only male believers are admitted.

The tradition was conceived in the mid-fifties of the last century by the late parish priest Don Camillo Iacobucci, who sought in this way to encourage the majority of the parish's males to participate in the Easter Precept.

The initiative was rewarded with success, fostered by the great devotion that Saint Joseph enjoyed and enjoys, in whose honour the traditional feast was prepared in many Torean homes. At least the masters and males of those houses responded en masse to the invitation, giving rise to the tradition, still in force today.
