This year's Marian Procession, moved to the warmer month of October, was a great success as more than 500 people flocked to the grounds of St Clement's for the occasion. Rector Fr John Airey (pictured) presided at Benediction. In his homily at Mass, Archbishop Christopher Prowse highlighted the Christian example given by Mary the Mother of God as the first true believer. She leads us on the way to be Magnificat people, he said.
