St Bridget's Church

Hello everyone!

Finally, spring has sprung and the yearly pattern of bible readings, called the lectionary, will move from the studying the life of Jesus. His birth in Bethlehem, through HIs earthly life. To the dramatic events of His crucifixion for the forgiveness of sin and the wonderful resurrection.

And instead, we will be hearing about Jesus’ teachings and parables. “Ordinary time”, or other words like Trinity and a number, will be on the top of our pew sheets and the year moves on. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we celebrated Christmas with some wonderful concerts from the children at Ysgol Hiraddug and here we are looking at summer events.

In “hot off the press” news, following closure of the church doors because of Government COVID restrictions, we are now able to open to visitors to the ancient parish church once again. Initially, this will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but hopefully it will be extended to other days in the week too.

Why come? We are your church, we are here for you, and we want to be open for you to visit. Come and rest in the peace of the building that has been a centre for prayer for Dyserth for over 1000 years. And maybe as long as 1500 years! You are welcome to pop in; light a candle; say a prayer; or maybe just sit in silence.

In September, we will be holding an exhibition of icons, there uses and why they are also known as “windows into heaven”. Excitingly, on 25th September we will also have the pleasure of Bishop Gregory attending. He will show and talk through some of the icons that he has painted himself. More details soon, please keep an eye out on our notice boards for more details of this and all our other events. Such as the new monthly bible study at 2pm on the 4th Thursday of every month.

Our services remain as usual. An informal said Mass (communion) at 1000am on Wednesdays and a Sung Mass on Sundays, again at 1000am. We look forward to welcoming you.

May God’s blessing be upon you
