Nigel and Andrew are ‘Bikers on a Mission’
The Revds Nigel Kirkpatrick (right) and Andrew McCroskery are taking to the road for 10 days this August to mark the 300th anniversary of the United Society in Ireland.
Nigel, rector of Gilnahirk in Belfast, and Andrew, who is rector of St Bartholomew’s and Christ Church Leeson Park in Dublin, will travel on their motorbikes to every cathedral of the Church of Ireland during the first 10 days of August.
This is an important year for Us and Andrew and Nigel hope to raise a significant amount of money for the Society, and particularly its work with the Diocese of Swaziland. Their journey will start and finish in St Anne’s Cathedral.
Their route is as follows: 1 August: Lisburn, Dromore, Armagh. 2 August: Kilmore, Clogher, Enniskillen. 3 August: Derry, Raphoe, Sligo, Killala. 4 August: Tuam, Kilfenora, Clonfert, Killaloe. 5 August: Limerick, Rosscarberry. 6 August: Cork, Cloyne, Lismore. 7 August: Waterford, Cashel. 8 August: Kilkenny, Leighlin, Ferns. 9 August: Dublin, Kildare, Trim. 10 August: Downpatrick, Belfast.
All bikers are welcome to join Nigel and Andrew in return for a donation to Us. Contact either Andrew or Nigel, or Linda (086 8586337) for more details.
Where their visit does not coincide with a regular service, either Andrew or Nigel will lead a short service and everyone is most welcome.
