Year of Pilgrimage - To mark our province’s centenary year we hope to travel to the Shrine of Our Lady at Penrhys this coming Saturday 15 August (feast of the Assumption).  Fr Phelim will be leading a group of cyclists departing the church at 9:30am and meeting up with the rest of our community for a 12 noon praying of the Angelus.  For walkers please meet at Llanwonno (St Wonno’s Church) for the walk up to the shrine.  Please bring your own food and drink.  For any other details contact Fr Phelim or Liz.                  
Parish Draw - Many thanks to all who contributed to our parish draw.  So far, we’ve raised over £800 - a huge achievement given these difficult circumstances.              
Make and Mend - there will be a general repair/clean/tidy up day of the church, inside and out on the second Saturday of September.  We start in the morning and end just after lunch.  Please join us if you can (10am-2pm) Bring your own lunch.                      
Thank You - David and Yvonne would like to thank everyone for their support and messages of condolence following the death of their mother, Dorothy.  Special thanks to those who took care of the seating and music for the funeral, to Eleri for reading, and to Fr Phelim for conducting the service.  Thank you to all for attending.                      
Public Worship - Worship with restrictions is now permissible.  Please attend carefully to the safety instructions, posters and guidance from stewards and parish officers during the services.  During Holy Communion please stay in your seats and Fr Phelim will bring Holy Communion to you.  Social distancing remains our key safety precaution.  Face coverings may be worn,  according to Welsh government guidance, but are not compulsory.   We are not yet able to share communion from the chalice or exchange the peace.  Recorded hymns will be played but we can’t yet sing along with them.
