On Saturday, June 21st the Brake the Cycle of Poverty cycling team will be on their bikes once again, riding through the state of CT to raise awareness about poverty in our state and the entire US. This will be their 11th annual ride, culminating at Mercy House in Hartford on Thursday, June 26, where they will gather with supporters and invited legislators.
Throughout the ride, from the hills of eastern CT to the streets of southern CT, they will visit poverty centers, soup kitchens and shelters where they will speak with clients to learn first-hand about the stories of those who experience poverty on a daily basis. Their evenings will be spent sharing these stories, along with information about poverty in CT, with members of faith-based communities along their route.
The current schedule of presentations includes:
St. Bridget Parish, Cornwall - Sunday am, June 22
St. Bartholomew Parish, Manchester - Sunday pm, June 22
St. Elizabeth Seton, Rocky Hill - Monday pm, June 23
St. Joseph Parish, Bristol - Tuesday pm, June 24
St. James Parish, Stratford - Wednesday pm, June 25
If you see the team pedaling along the roads of Connecticut, cheer them on as they advocate for poverty awareness. A little prayer wouldn't hurt either!
