Of local interest is that St John had served at Holywell as Parish Priest, the location of our fourth Sunday Mass and additionally an annual LMS Pilgrimage.
So, I thought it well worth publicising a Rosary Pilgrimage to the location of his martyrdom this coming Wednesday (27th July) - organised by the folk at Ss Peter & Paul and St Philomena (the Dome of Home) in New Brighton.
Pilgrims will leave The Dome of Home at 12.30pm and will meet at St Francis Capuchin Friary, Chester at 1pm opposite the site where St John was tried.
They will then follow the route he was dragged to his death for our Catholic faith and the Rosary will be said at the site of his execution, which is now known as Barrel Well Hill.
For more information or if you would like a lift from the Dome of Home please telephone 07743235046.
