The trio are planning to cycle 350 miles over six days, linking all the parishes in Connor.

The cycle will also be a unique tribute to Bill’s late wife, Sandra, and will raise funds for the Friends of the Cancer Centre at Belfast City Hospital.

The cyclists begin their ‘Connor Cycle of Prayer’ at St. Brigid’s on Tuesday, June 1.

They will finish at St. Brigid’s on June 6 - the first anniversary of Sandra’s death - when a special service will be held at which a Book of Remembrance will be dedicated.

This book will be collated along the cycle route, with parishioners throughout Connor invited to enter the names of family members who have also died of cancer.

The service will begin at 3.30pm and the preacher will be the Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Rev. Alan Harper.

The Bishop, Bill and Andrew are looking for sponsorship for this venture, and are encouraging parishes to add names to the Book of Remembrance.

An itinerary and further details will be published on the Connor Diocesan website - www.connor.anglican.org
