Low Mass at 2pm in St Francis of Assisi Church near to Chester Racecourse was followed by a brief interlude for tea and coffee before a procession through the historic streets of Chester to the obelisk in Boughton which marks the point where St John Plessington, one of the 40 martyrs of England and Wales shed his blood for the Catholic faith in 1679
By the kind permission of the Bishop of Shrewsbury and the parish of St Winefride, Neston - the celebrant, Canon Cyprien Parant wore the chasuble that was once used by St John himself!
More on St John can be read in the original advert promoting the event here.
