The Priory of Montalenghe, in the province of Turin, about 30 km from the Piedmontese capital, was purchased in 1979. Immersed in the green of the Canavese hills, from the beginning it has been used for spiritual exercises for both the Italian and Swiss faithful.
Currently three priests and some Sisters of the Consolation of the Sacred Heart reside in the house.
The apostolate of the priests of the Priory consists, in addition to the periodic preaching of the Exercises of St. Ignatius, in the dissemination of good press, in catechisms for both children and adults and in the hospitality given to pilgrims who want to visit the spiritual riches of Piedmont.
Of course, the main apostolate is that of the Holy Mass. In addition to Montalenghe, every Sunday the priests celebrate Holy Mass in Turin and Seregno (MI); once a month also in the provinces of Pavia and Cuneo; occasionally in Liguria.

What is a Stella Matutina Camp?
“Stella Matutina” — the Morning Star — is one of the oldest and richest Marian titles, one we use in the Litany of Loreto.
This phrase, drawn from Ecclesiasticus, is applied to Our Lady as the one who appears just before the dawn: visible while it is still dark, heralding a light greater than herself, and giving hope and direction to those still traveling in the night.
The spiritual image
She precedes, she does not replace. The morning star is not the sun. Mary’s whole significance, in this title, is that she points beyond herself to Christ, the “Sun of Justice” (Malachi 4:2). A camp is Marian in method, but ordered entirely to Christ as the end.
She shines in darkness. The morning star is seen before the light comes, when things are still obscure. Mary announced Christ’s coming before it was fully manifest — and by her ongoing role guiding souls through life to heaven above.
She gives hope to those still journeying. Sailors and travelers used the morning star to know dawn was near even while surrounded by night. If things may be dark now, the light is coming, and Mary, steadfast with love and hope, leads us to the light.
Smallness and humility. Unlike the sun, the morning star is faint — a small, quiet sign rather than an overwhelming one. Through Mary, children and youth are naturally drawn to littleness, hiddenness, and quiet fidelity to virtue in a spirit of love, grace, joy, and fraternal charity.
The camp’s spirit
Formation ordered to Christ through Mary — devotions, recreations, and daily life at camp through Mary point to the Sun she precedes.
Our Hope and joy living in the world — through our faith, hope and joy, we carry our examples into the world the way the morning star gives courage to travelers still in night.
Rising early — morning and night prayers, early Mass, Angelus, rosary, a rhythm of life tuned to the natural day as a symbol of the spiritual one.
Quiet, humble witness — the star is small and precedes something greater, and so we teach humility and fidelity to virtue preparing the way through Our Lady to Our Lord.
Mary as model and guide — our model of virtue and formation of character cultivating purity; our guide to the light, to the Most Sacred Heart; to God Almighty, author of Heaven and Earth. Deo Gratias!
