Following a World Holy Mass at St. Mary’s Chapel at 12pm on Saturday participants walked from Creggan to the Bogside and the Brandywell.
The procession passed the Sister Clare Crockett mural at Deanery Street, paused at the grotto in the Brandywell, and culminated with the Holy Rosary in Celtic Park.
The event was organised by Guardians of the Faith.
