On the first Saturday of October, many pilgrims from Shrewsbury and other local communities attended the pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Saint Winifred in Holywell, Wales.

Following Matins and Divine Liturgy, the pilgrims processed solemnly from the well chapel to the well itself for a blessing of the waters. Many pilgrims bathed in the healing waters. After lunch, all returned to the chapel for vespers.
