St Winefred Shrine
Remembering our journey
Join us for a parish pilgrimage to St. Winefride’s Well in Holywell, Known as a place of healing and prayer for over 1,300 years, this holy site honors St. Winefride, a 7th century Christian martyr whose faith and miraculous restored life inspired generations of believers.
Together as a parish family, we will travel to pray at the sacred spring, seek the intercession of St. Winefride, and share in a day of worship, reflection, and Christian fellowship.
All are welcome to join us on this holy journey.
