The Redemptorist Community are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the presentation of the Icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help to the congregation by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1866. All of the twenty six Cathedrals in Ireland have agreed to participate in a pilgrimage to mark this special anniversary. Devotion to our Mother of Perpetual Help is an important part of the lives of many people.
