Bavaria - Wolfring:
For over 300 years, a procession was organized from Freihols and Wolfring, two small villages in Bavaria. Around the late 17th century, a terrible cattle disease was raging in the area and Farmers sought the intercession of St Kajetan in their distress. The disease petered out soon after and believers kept the promise of their ancestors to this day. The council of the municipality of Schmidgaden introduced, among some new street names for 1986, one called "Kajetanweg" in honour of our Saint.
Gunzlhofen:
An old chapel dedicated to St.Kajetan in a monastery yard.
