Family Bike Ride with Bishop Reidy
Families from across the Diocese of Norwich are invited to enjoy a morning of fellowship, fresh air, and outdoor recreation with Bishop Reidy during a special family bike ride on Saturday, June 27.
The event will take place along the scenic Hop River State Park Trail’s “Rockville Spur,” a crushed stone and dirt trail that stretches approximately 10 miles round-trip. Participants will gather at St. Joseph Church, located at 33 West Street in Vernon, before heading to the trail together.
The ride is open to all families and riders of various skill levels. Organizers hope the event will provide an opportunity for parishioners to spend time together, enjoy God’s creation, and connect with Bishop Reidy in a relaxed and family-friendly setting.
Following the ride, families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and remain for fellowship and conversation. The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Riders should plan to meet in the St. Joseph Church parking lot before departing for the trail.
