Following is a ride through Schenley Park

Inspired by the Blessing of the Bikes at New York City’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine, this first-ever Pittsburgh Blessing of the Bikes will start off the riding season with a short service, including sprinkling (asperging) of holy water over cyclists and their bicycles and a commemoration of those killed while riding.

All ages and all faiths welcome! Riders of other non-motorized vehicles should come out for the blessing as well–scooters, skateboards, etc.

After the blessing, we will go on a ride through Schenley Park!

The Rev. Mike Wernick will preside.

The Church of the Redeemer is located at 5700 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, between Murray Avenue and Wightman Street, and can also be accessed from Darlington Road.

Time: Saturday, April 30 · 10:00am – 11:30am

Location: Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

5700 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA
