500 turn out for May procession |
|
The city of Blackburn played host recently to over 500 people walking in a Marian Procession. Following on from the success of the procession last October at the south end of the diocese, this walk and others like it are heralding a new growth in popular piety that enkindles faith and gives a powerful witness.
Fr John Dugdale, who was responsible for the event, was pleased with the turnout and expressed his hope that the faith of many around would be uplifted by the joyful occasion.

The forthcoming Eucharistic Congress, to be held in Dublin next month, will look to inspire within the Church in Ireland and the world a spirit of healing, renewal, and reconciliation that is founded upon the Body of Christ.
