ARCHDIOCESAN GOOD NEWS - ST HELENS ROSARY PROCESSION

The rosary procession took place in St Helens last weekend, a tradition in the area going back over 60 years.

Led by Father Jino Arikkatt, MCBS, parish priest at Holy Cross and St Helen Church, and joined by the mayor of St Helens, Cllr Stephen Little, the event dates back to the late 1950s when parishioner Martin Byrne fell seriously ill and pledged to God that if he recovered, he would start an annual Rosary procession in the town.
