MIA's Manchester Italian Procession 2010

About the Procession

Throughout the year MIA organises many events. The most high profile is the Italian Procession, in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, which takes place every June. This involves the carrying of the religious emblems, The Madonna, The Calvary, St.Anthony and banners from Ancoats across Manchester city centre passing the Town Hall.

The procession is accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Manchester councillors, members from the Italian consul, women in the colourful regional dress of Italy, and children in First Communion dress.
