The center will provide religious services (celebration of the holy mass, sacrament of penance and reconciliation, anointing of the sick, eucharistic adoration, retreat and spiritual exercises) and a preparation of pilgrims to spread throughout the world saint gianna's and pietro's example, testimony, and spirituality, for the spiritual good, the hope, and the encouragement of many people, in particular for those who suffer or have various physical, emotional, or spiritual difficulties.it will be a peaceful place of prayer, learning, study and spirituality for pilgrims, a holy pilgrimage site, in humble service to the universal church, to help spread knowledge of and devotion to st.
