Trail Rides with Bishop Reidy: A Day of Faith, Fellowship, and Adventure
This spring, young people across the Diocese of Norwich are invited to step into the great outdoors for a truly memorable experience: Trail Rides on Horses with Bishop Reidy.
On Saturday, April 18, youth ages 13–18 are invited to join Bishop Richard F. Reidy at C & L Stables in Goddard Park, East Greenwich, Rhode Island, for a day that promises not only adventure, but connection—both with one another and with the Lord.
Set against the scenic backdrop of coastal Rhode Island, participants will ride along peaceful trails, taking in the beauty of nature while sharing in conversation and fellowship. Whether you’re an experienced rider or trying horseback riding for the first time, this event offers a unique opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone and into something new.
More than just a recreational outing, the day reflects something deeper. Moments like these—simple, joyful, and shared—have a way of building authentic community. Walking, or in this case riding, alongside one another creates space for meaningful conversations, laughter, and the kind of connection that lasts long after the day is over.
Bishop Reidy’s presence makes the experience even more special. Known for his warmth and approachability, he continues to seek out opportunities to spend time with the young Church, meeting them where they are, listening, and encouraging them in their faith journeys. Events like this are a reminder that the Church is not just something we attend—it is something we live, together.
