Chile - Procession in honor of Mary Help of Christians, now back through streets of La Serena
La Serena, Chile - May 2023 - After the harshest years of the pandemic, which did not allow its normal course, the traditional procession in honor of Mary Help of Christians through the streets of the city of La Serena has returned. Last May 28, in fact, a multitude of pilgrims, young people, adults, and the elderly, joined the procession, which started from the courtyard of the Salesian school "San Ramón." After a long route through the city streets, with prayers and supplications, and a stop at the gates of the Cathedral, the procession then made its return, passing through the street of Regimiento Coquimbo. On the reentry, a solemn Eucharist was celebrated, at the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians, in the presence of many faithful. Fr. Miguel Rojas Andrade, Director of the Salesian presence in La Serena, presided over the celebrations, saying he was happy for the participation of so many faithful, of all ages. The event was also attended by several representatives of the Salesian Family and the "Guía Lemu Don Bosco" Scout Group, which carried in procession an original banner on which were written the names of all the mothers of the students of the Salesian school.
