The Good Friday Procession of Witness walk to the top of The Coppice in Accrington took place once again after a three year absence due to Covid.

This inter-denominational prayer event is organised by the Knights of St. Columba Accrington Council 188 and students from the two faith High Schools in the town; Mount Carmel Roman Catholic and St. Christopher’s Church of England read prayers and short readings at each of the ten stations of the cross along the path to the summit of the Coppice in Accrington.

Over 150 people attended this event with Fr. David Arnold and Fr. Jordan McDermott beginning the service with a prayer. At the summit all the pupil readers gathered together around the cross for the final reading and hymn. Thank you to our senior prefects who attended and all the families who supported the event.
