Everyone wanted the schedule of the further visit of Our Lady of Częstochowa to Italy to proceed as planned, without disruptions. The friendly family of an employee of the Sanctuary of the Holy House in Loreto drove their own car all the way to Varese near Milan. They did this well in advance to ensure that there would be no surprises.

On Thursday, June 12, 2025, in the afternoon, Fr. Eros Monti, prior responsible for the Sanctuary of the Sacro Monte in Varese, handed over the pilgrim Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa to the envoys of the Sanctuary in Loreto. The new escort of the Madonna set off with the Icon back home. The route was about 500 km.

On Monday, June 16, 2025 at 6:30 PM, the official welcome of the Mother of God in the Częstochowa Icon took place in the Greater Pontifical Sanctuary of the Holy House of the Madonna in Loreto. A group of pilgrims from Mexico joined the welcomers. They honored the ceremony with their singing and prayer. The large, beautiful, Gothic basilica, built in the 15th century, was half filled with the faithful, which is rather rare, especially on a weekday.Loretto 2025 06 16 o 20.35.4

The next day, Tuesday, June 17, at 9:00 PM, a conference was given by a Polish Capuchin, Father Andrzej Kniejza, rector of the College of St. Lawrence, which has existed for 110 years and serves as a house of studies for Capuchin brothers from all over the world. He discussed the history and meaning of the Icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa, Queen of Poland. A significant number of listeners were very interested and moved by this talk.Loretto 2025 06 16 o 20.35

On the third day of the Icon's stay at the Sanctuary of the House of God in Loreto, the Rosary was recited before the Icon for peace in the world, due to the serious international conflict that seriously threatens to escalate the war.

On the last day of the visit, the solemn Eucharist was presided over by local Archbishop Fabio Dal Cin, appointed Archbishop-Prelate of Loreto by Pope Francis in 2017. Like many bishops in various countries, he expressed his admiration and gratitude to Our Lady for having gathered so many faithful in prayer during her visit to Loreto, which took place in the middle of the week.
