Feast of the vote of the Community of Castelnovo
TRAINING HERE AND LOW from the Memorial, which describes the vote of the community of Castelnovo, we find moments of history, faith and iron will for the future years in the ancestors who lived tremendous days in September of the distant L882, on the occasion of the flood of that year. Thus the memorial: «The history of the Church is a grandiose poem that describes the intimacy of the life of Mary Most Holy with the Christian people and the lively participation of the excellent mother in the joys and pains of her children with enthusiastic expressions of the life of Mary Mary. devotees.
We people of Castelnovo have a solemn document in the valid help that the Celestial Regina He handed us on the occasion of the terrible flood of the year 1882. The furious waters of the Maso stream overwhelming the right bank were poured on the countryside and on the meadows above the country, and despite the solicitous defense works, they now mentioned to have reason for every human fallback.
It was in that supreme juncture that the registry of the Municipality, welcoming and making the Desire of the population, after taking regular advice in the municipal seat, went to the altar of the Sorrowful Virgin and entrusted to her the almost desperate cause of the terrified people. At midnight between L6 and September 17th in front of the sacred image of the Virgin Addolorata the head of the public administration uttered the following invocation and issued the following vote:
or Virgin and Sorrowful mother, who always gives pitiful comfort in our afflictions e effective assistance in our needs, concerning the angustia of this devoted people, which in the imminence of irreparable disaster resorts confident to your maternal patronage. Deh, pray to the divine son + who spread the hand of him omnipotent on the threatening waters, so that the dangerous country comes out unharmed by the terrible proof.
If you will make us worthy of this grace, we promise you and make a solemn vote that every year, on the anniversary of your ineffable pain, the Municipality will make a sung mass celebrated in your honor and will officially assist you, so it will also officially take part in the Solemn procession that will be free to your pains and will publicly offer you a candle, as a sign of grateful memory for the grace impeded by you ››.
Now the story tells us that the following day the waters of the farm took an unexpectedly a cross -sized fold as guided by an invisible hand, leaving all the buildings unharmed. So the country was safe.
They are therefore made infinite thanks to the mother of the seven pains, and as it preserved us from the greater damage of that memorable flood, you look at us with equal love from the most terrible of floods, that is, by the quantity of scandals that in the way of a stream impetuously they try to overwhelm our souls ››. Also this year the vote has been fulfilled: municipal representation, s. Solemn mass, procession, candle offered, well prepared choir, good attention in all those who were present.
Here is perhaps a question: these are only the Castelnovati?

September 1882; The anguish of the villagers for the waters that invaded the lower part of the country, the plea at midnight, present the municipal authorities, to the sorrowful Virgin, because the country was preserved by other misfortunes and the subsequent withdrawal of the waters. It seems to us that the hundred years from the great flood cannot pass without a particular memory that should see the whole population engaged, and especially the pastoral council, the parish and the choir.
To the City Council, which so much part had in the events of 1882, we launch a proposal certainly shared by most of the villagers and that is that, on the centenary of the flood, it is remembered of the beautiful figure of Don Malfatti. He was an exemplary person

In the centenary year thinking about our faith
In the memory of the centenary of the flood and the vote, we prepare to live an event Exceptional and also unique in our life, since none of us - is presumed - can account for the second centenary. We will remember a moment of anguish of our progenitors, but of them also the trust that the Lord intervenes in the things of men. Of anguish they suffered so much in that September of L882. It had been raining for days and with the passage of time the streams swelling more and more. For the country it was a cause of anxiety the spin that the farm made to the north, a little higher on the bridge of Scurelle. Remember Maria Denicolò (Tonazza), ultranonovantenne, that her father was on the mountains. For the persistence of bad weather with others she went downstream to take a look at home. At Calamento, she crossed the farm in full on a catwalk of trunks. Reached the other side, behind him the avalanche of water overwhelmed the catwalk and the trunks surpassed him on the loyal wave. The villagers did everything to stem the impetuosity of the stream, yet the farm broke the embankment in darkness where it was more worked with occasional defenses. At night, after another trepidation day, while the water spread in the lower part of the country. The population came to church with the municipal administration and, through the mouth of the mayor, made the Aldbey the plea that we all know with the promise of future memory. The clouds thinned out, the rain ceased, the waters flowed from the countryside without causing other damage. And the population repeated over time the gesture of gratitude with the day of the vote, up to us, grandchildren of the centenary, which we prepare to relive the anxiety and faith of our grandparents. Just of faith we would like to speak in the next anniversary and in the memory of the people of then who had the strength to believe in the effectiveness of collective prayer. Do us, today, an equal gesture? We would believe more in divine protection than in the intervention of man
On these topics, the parish proposes a series of meetings for age groups and for the whole Week prior to September 19 as per detail. The unique theme will be: «It is worth Believe, today? ›and will be developed by three speakers. But the celebrations in memory of the feast of the vote will not end with the Centenary Sunday. They will only be launched during this month for a prolonged duration in the next year almost to mark a path of reflection on the way of manifesting our faith and because from the example of the Castelnovati of one hundred years ago it will come to us for a more life for a life Christian.

As was announced in the previous number of the news, we celebrated the centenary of the vote on the Addolorata for the protection had in 1882. Together with his etc. The Archbishop, whom we met at the capital of the vote, we were almost all present: from the city council, to the various associations existing in the village, to a lot and many people. The most detailed news will come later with photographic documentation. However, since the centenary must not be limited to a single day, but it should be remembered throughout this year, it is my duty first of all to bring some thoughts of the homily of the bishop, so that they do not pass too early in the forget.
The bishop with happy combination spoke of the fear that took our people to infuriate waters such as the fear that the apostles took over the lake of Galilee to the infuria of the storm. Wake up Jesus, the disciples feel say: because you are afraid of men of little faith! While other times Jesus will say: your faith has saved you! The intervention of the Lord requires faith. Theme debated in the evenings organized along the preparatory week. At this point the archbishop put us today, on guarding from certain dangers widespread in those who consider themselves Christians. I don't go to Mass, to the sacraments but do not hurt; Or: I pray, I go to Mass and I approach the Sacraments, but then outside the Church, charity, the interest for the neighbor, the availability of the directives of the Pope and the bishops is missing; Or again: I believe yes in God, but not to all those things that can be seen today in the Church, in priests, etc ... the archbishop said: whoever believes to be in place as a Christian in this situation, Cristiano is not certainly. Can you believe in an evanescent God? No! We must believe in a god concretely present in man's physical and spiritual reality. He also says s. Giacomo in his letter: to be believers you have to have faith (sacraments, s. Mass, Gospel, the Church with her magisterium) and her works! So the Archbishop has clearly placed the answer to certain doubts and confusions that circulate today. He too has stopped to condemn the brazen permissiveness circulating even in those who consider themselves Christian and above all indicated the impurities. Sin there is still and you must not believe that it is in place by serving fashion and widespread mentality in the world today in contrast with the indications of the Gospel! I tried to present what was impressed by the archbishop's speech that was much more clear and incisive of what I could do. From these pages, thanks to the archbishop for being in the middle of us on the feast of the vote, thanks that I also renew on the name of the whole population and also I would like thank the mayor with the city council. all associations, the people who collaborated in the success of the party and those who have participated in the celebration.

It only rarely happens that much of the countries: it is collected together, so that we can say that the meeting on Sunday 19 September with our bishop and the implementation of the flood of 82 were a gathering of families The celebration preparations for the anniversary of the Centenary of the flight had been prepared with the collaboration of many: from the municipal administration to the Pro Loco. From the Alpine Association to the Fire Brigade, without wrong to others, and the village for Sunday morning gave the image of a vessel with the Gran Pavese, there were many flags lying in mid -air by the Capitello of the station up the way to the church, and cry and the "tasa ›› and the flowers; At the windows, drapes and bedspreads had returned to the windows. At the bottom of the country, the Archbishop was welcomed by the population with the dean, the parish priest, Don Giovanni Conci and the representatives of the municipal administration. After short occasional words of the mayor and the archbishop, while the choir put the Ave Maria of De Mami for the first time, the procession started towards the parish church for the celebration of the anniversary mass. At the time of the preaching, someone expected a speech of circumstance, a little difficult. And instead the tone was dampened from the beginning when the bishop called all the Children present and then introduced her to preach with a well -known Evangelical fact: the storm in the sea of ??Galileo while Jesus slept in the boat. The apostles woke up Jesus, because they are anguished, and he calmed down the waters, after reproaching him, friends for the little faith. Easy combination with the events of 1882. Except that Jesus would praise the Castelnovati for the plea made in the moment of danger. Hence the need to verify our ability to believe today. in the midst of many references e Streetings that would like to take us away from the rules of Christian life. The preaching was followed by reading the historical report of the facts by the mayor's voice. It was a commemoration party. And the external success is accompanied by some news that, in our opinion, it is appropriate to highlight.
- The impression was caught that the centenary was felt by the country and that it was prepared by individual villages and in a group in the sign of willing collaboration.
- In the week before the Sunday of commemoration, meetings were held Reflection on the theme «Is it worth believing today? », Aimed at young people, students and families. Last evening, greeting the rapporteur, a lady said: «Come still, we need to hear these things ››. Perhaps a sign that does not go out the desire to know, even in the matter of faith. The parish must experience, with the pastoral council, new ways of proposal to affect people on the topic "Fede ››.
- At the Mass, several villagers have gagged the microphone by reading the readings or prayers of the offertory. For a moment there has been the impression of a liveliness that in ordinary times we know more modest. Yet it would take little - we have seen that it is not difficult - because there was more availability of readers at the microphone.
- For the centenary large part of the villagers was in church and we believe with sincere feeling of thanks. How beautiful it would be that every Sunday the country found themselves around the altar like Sunday 19, children with parents, complete families, to say thanks of the gifts had and receive strength for the week that opens.
Hurry thoughts, on which there will be a way to meditate, since - we already said it last month.
- The centenary is not over. The celebration in the company of the bishop is the beginning of a period of reflection and the memory of the vote will return as the memory of the faith of the elderly and why the phrase carved at the base of the altar of the Addolorata has sense: "The community of Castelnovo on the centenary of the vote, he renews it.

«In that memoirendo September the rains had so swore the Maso stream that they create A serious danger for all the houses placed in the morning of the parish church "..." It was in that supreme juncture "... "At midnight between 16 and 17 September, while the rain blossomed incessant and threatening, between the profound silence that the holiness of the place and the tragedy of the hour imposed, in front of the sacred image of the Virgin, the head of the public administration is grieved .. . In the name of all the people who rushed en masse, he preferred ... the following invocation and issued the following vote:

Someone will already be noticed that what was mentioned was verbatim taken from the "memorial" by Don Malfatti, who masterfully reconstructed in August 1926, under dictation of sixteen eye witnesses, what happened in that sad September. And so on Sunday 17 September 1989 the new generations, keeping faith in what was promised by the ancestors, participated with devotion to the procession along the traditional streets of the country, Alternating the recitation of the Rosary with the Marian songs and litanies. Present, in addition to the authorities, Alpine and firefighters, as well as the children of the kindergarten who, led by their teachers, opened the procession. Then the Mass celebrated by Don Bruno with the "Stabat Mater" commended by the parish choir. And finally, the blessing with the candle - offered by the Municipality - to the Virgin, a pledge of maternal protection also for the present day.
The sudden immature disappearance of Don Albino Bandiera, who died a few days before the feast of S. Margherita, interrupted the program that he was arranging for the inauguration of the restorations of the church. Thus, the possibility of exposing a precise report of the work completed with the wide contribution of the autonomous province of Trento and with the generous support of the Municipality, of the Cassa di Risparmio di Trento and Rovereto, of the Cassa Rurale of Scurelle and of Castelnovo and the entire population. The parish pastoral council, the parish council for economic affairs and the parish administrator Don Giuseppe Smaniotto feel in obligation to address a public thanks to all those who have contributed to the completion of the beautiful work. A special thanks, then, they add to the "Committee for the restorations of S. Margherita" who was formed at the beginning of the company with the representatives of the municipal administration and all the associations of the country and which was wide of advice and material and moral help to the parish priests Don Luigi Dalprà and Don Albino Bandiera.
desire S. Margherita intercede the divine benevolence on all the people who have zealous Decorious accommodation where the Castelnovati for centuries have paid them devoted cult. The feast of the vote was celebrated, as usual, on Sunday 15 September, with wide Participation of the people, the city council, the firefighters and the ex Alpini group. During the procession, which started from the Capithe of the Addolorata at the bottom of the country, the choir sang the litanies harmonized by the deceased organist Bruno Coradello, and during the s. Mass performed solemn music. The Mayor, prof. Ciro Androllo, read the Memorial of the vote and then went to the altar of the Madonna Addolorata the artistic votive candle. «The incessant rains of September 1882 had so enlarged the Maso stream to be held serious danger to the houses placed in the morning of the parish church. It was at that anguished juncture That the population gathers in front of the image of the Sorrowful Virgin "with the parish priest Don Ernesto Egger (1879 - 1884 - native of Fiera di Primiero - then Archpriest Decano of Cavalese) and the City Council in complete to ask for the maternal intervention of Mary to safeguard the poor possessions of families ». According to what was previously deliberated by the Council in a excited meeting, the mayor committed himself to vote to celebrate a s. Put, to offer a large candle and to travel the districts with a devoted procession.
The memorial reports that "the following day the tumultuous waters of the farm, as guided by an invisible hand, took more street following a provident breach opened in the bed towards morning; And the country was Salvo. "
After 100 years, the Castelnovati still honored that solemn commitment, mindful of the great favor obtained in a time of extreme poverty. Only from 1915 to 1918 is not possible to fulfill the vote due to the world war that had forced the population to evacuate as a refugee. At the time of the flood mentioned above, the farm was channeled only in the slightest part. The current walls were built immediately later for a decisive intervention by the Austrian government who proposed to give thus even a little work to the country's men, then without any resource. The old people said, however, that they were very tiring works: it was started that it was still night with the counting of workers made with light light: and it was interrupted when it was dark pesto. The wage was just a crown and a half a day, but we were satisfied, because other money could not be had. At the east corner of the square there is still the plaque placed on the "perennial memory of the construction of the masale embankment - June 1, 1883 ". And difficult to read, because Barbaric hands immediately after the war chusked the words that recalled the Austrian government; Furthermore, the insult of the time did its demolition part.

The history of the Church is a grandiose poem that describes the intimacy of the life of Mary Most Holy with the Christian people and the lively and affectionate participation of the excellent mother in the joys and pains of her devoted children with enthusiastic expressions of gold and enthusiastic expressions. We, people of Castelnuovo, have a solemn document in the valuable help that the celestial queen handed us on the occasion of the terrible entertainment of the year 1882. In that memorandum September, the rains in the dirotte had so swore the Maso stream that they created a serious danger for all the houses placed in the morning of the parish church. The furious waters by selling the right bank had been poured on the countryside and on the meadows above the country, and despite the prompt defense works they now mentioned to have reason for any human fallback. The whole esthertefied population repaired hasty with the cattle in the upper part of the country and trembled at the thought that from one hour to the other the fury of the elements would take off on the poorly defended buildings reducing them to a pile of ruins. It was in that supreme juncture that the regulators of the Municipality, welcoming and making the unanimous desire of the population, after taking a regular advice in the municipal seat, went to the bodily at the altar of the Virgin Addolorata of this parish church and to her, who met the worries Strazianti and the trenches anxieties, entrusted the almost desperate cause of the terrified people. At midnight between 16 and 17 September, while the rain blossomed incessant and threatening, between the profound silence that the holiness of the place and the tragedy of the hour imposed, in front of the sacred image of the Virgin, the head of the public administration surrounded by representation Municipal, by delegation of the same and in the name of all the people who rushed en masse, present the reverend local parish priest, uttered through his adviser to his adviser the following invocation and issued the following vote:

Now the story delivered to a document, which for over thirty years was kept in the parish archive and unfortunately it was dispersed in the four-year war of the nations (14-18) tells us that in the following day the bursting waters of the farm, rather than Following the predictable course that recklessly irresistibly against the hasty defense works and launched them with unstoppable enthusiasm close to the houses, unexpectedly took a transversal fold as guided by invisible hand, blooming on the eastern strip of the country, following provident Breccia formed on the left bank of the farm and leaving all the buildings unharmed.
So the country was Salvo; And the exultant and grateful people did not fail from then on to satisfy the sacred commitment, well decided to pass on to the late grandchildren this sweet obligation that attests also in future centuries the effectiveness of the intercession of Mary Addolorata and the gratitude of the beneficial people.
that if the aforementioned document was then misrepresented, its precious content could be able to reproduce in its general lines with the attestation and under dictation of 16 eye witnesses.
therefore made infinite thanks to the mother of the seven pains; And as she preserved us from the greater damage of that memorable inputation, you look at us with equal love from the most terrible of the Inondaziani, that is, by the quantity of scandals that in themit of impetuous stream try to overwhelm our souls; And what shiny star, radiant above the stormy sea of ??life, add the way that leads to Paradise.
AMEN!
