Diocese of Norwich Invites Families to Ski with Bishop Reidy at Wachusett Mountain

People of all ages are invited to join Bishop Richard Reidy for an evening of skiing and fellowship at Wachusett Mountain on Saturday, March 7. Hosted by the Diocese of Norwich, this special gathering offers families and individuals a chance to come together for wholesome recreation, faith-filled community, and winter fun.

The event is free to attend, with participants responsible only for the cost of ski or snowboard rentals if needed. Families and individuals will meet at the mountain at 4:00 p.m., when skiing will begin. Please note that no transportation will be provided, so attendees should plan to arrive on their own.

This all-ages event is designed to be relaxed and welcoming— whether you’re an experienced skier or simply coming along to enjoy the fellowship and atmosphere. Time on the slopes will be complemented by the opportunity to connect with Bishop Reidy and fellow members of the diocesan community in a joyful, informal setting.
