Church of San Giorgio, Squillace
The church has not always been called by its current name; on the contrary, it is still called the Church of Purity. This name derives from the existence of a monastery, the so-called Salesian Convent, and from the consecration of the church and the high altar in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Purity and Saint Francis de Sales, which was performed by Monsignor Michele Abbati in 1739. The Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in October.
