- The Centro di Solidarieta organises a public prayer gathering at Amalfi Cathedral on 16 November 2026.
- The 16 November gathering commemorates Mons. Ercolano Marini and invokes the Holy Trinity.
- The Cloister of Paradise was built between 1266 and 1268 beside the cathedral complex.
Amalfi Cathedral (Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea) will host the Solemn Supplication to the Holy Trinity on 16 November 2026 in Amalfi, Italy. The diocesan announcement places the religious gathering in the cathedral and gives its start time as 6pm.
The event is linked to the anniversary of the death of Mons. Ercolano Marini and to the liturgical remembrance of Saint Giuseppe Moscati. It offers a specific reason for visitors already in Amalfi to include the cathedral in an evening itinerary, while remaining a religious gathering rather than a commercial attraction.
A public supplication takes place on 16 November
The Centro di Solidarieta Mons. Ercolano Marini is inviting people to attend the gathering, which the Archdiocese of Amalfi - Cava de' Tirreni announced on 10 November 2026. The announcement says that the supplication will be held in the cathedral on Monday 16 November at 6pm.
The programme centres on prayer to the Holy Trinity. The diocesan notice also names Father Benedetto Nivakoff, an American citizen and abbot of the Monastery of Saint Benedict in Monte of Norcia, whose voice will lead the supplication. The announcement links the service to Mons. Marini's spiritual devotion to Saint Giuseppe Moscati and to an ongoing diocesan cause for his possible canonisation.
The event is therefore tied directly to the building, not simply to a general programme in Amalfi. The diocesan announcement for 16 November identifies the cathedral, the date and the religious purpose in the same notice.
The service meets a layered cathedral complex
The cathedral is an active Catholic church in the centre of Amalfi, with worship taking place alongside the visitor route through its historic complex. The building includes the Basilica of the Crucifix, the Cloister of Paradise and the crypt associated with Saint Andrew.
The Cloister of Paradise was built between 1266 and 1268, according to a specialist visitor account, and forms a distinctive part of the complex beside the church. That setting gives the 16 November service a clear architectural context: the gathering takes place in a working religious building whose adjacent spaces also preserve Amalfi's medieval history.
The cathedral's religious role is also visible in the town's calendar. Saint Andrew is Amalfi's patron saint, and the annual feast connected with him is held on 30 November. The November 16 gathering comes earlier in the same month, but it has a separate focus on Mons. Marini, Saint Giuseppe Moscati and the Holy Trinity. Background on the building's cloister and Saint Andrew crypt helps distinguish those parts from the nave used for worship.
