Recyclists Bisikleta Iglesia 2015

Fellow kapadyak Vhen Apran invited me to join him in Motorbisita Iglesia - ie we ride in tandem as we relive the Biskileta Iglesia.  I declined as I am still nursing a broken shoulder

Traditionally the Angono Recyclists hold a Bisikleta Iglesia for almost a decade.  The church visit is complete with misallete and prayers especially for Recyclists

We did not have for the last two years because of the pandemic

The churches we visited are:

1.  St Magdalene in Pililla (sometimes the Bugarin or Quisao Church  St. Vicente Alcala

2.  St. Ildefonso in Tanay

3.  St. Joseph in Baras.

4.  St. Jerome in Morong

5.  Holy Rosary in Cardona

6.  Sta Ursula in Binagonan or Sacred Heart in Tayuman

7.  St. Clement in Angono Rizal

True to our religion we join the Christendom in commemorating the Passion of Jesus Christ
