It will be no ordinary visitation, however, but his last official one to this area, as he retires at the end of July.
Bishop Idris has a special connection with this area, having been Team Rector of South Ayrshire from 1992 to 1998.
Along with Holy Trinity, Ayr, he had responsibility for St Oswald's, Maybole and St John's, Girvan.
The day's proceedings - which are open to all members of the public - will begin at Girvan when at 10.30am he will conduct a joint service in the Methodist Church, Dalrymple Street, which will be a united Communion service with the Methodist and Episcopalian congregations.
At 3pm it is Maybole's turn as he will say a few words and give the final blessing at the town's annual open air ecumenical service in the ruins of Crossraguel Abbey.
The day will end at 6.30pm with a special Confirmation Service at Holy Trinity, Fullarton Street, Ayr, at which six members from South Ayrshire will be confirmed.
Idris Jones, who was born of Welsh parents, grew up in the West Midlands.
After training for the ministry at Edinburgh and New York, he was ordained in 1967.
His ministry of 42 years has included some very interesting and challenging appointments including Canon and Precentor at St Paul's Cathedral, Dundee, and parish ministry in America, England and Scotland.
In 1998 he was elected Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway.
This diocese stretches from Alexandria in the north, to Portpatrick in the south, and has over 10,000 Episcopalians in communion with the church.
In 2006 he was elected Primus, which in effect makes him the leader of the Anglican Communion in Scotland.
Announcing the news of his retirement Biship Jones stressed: "Stepping down as Diocesan Bishop will not mean that it will not be possible to continue in ministry and service of the Church in some other way and I look forward to new possibilities in the years ahead."
Bishop Idris and his wife, Alison, a psychiatrist, will be retiring to Largs.
