Y Cylch Catholig

Welcome To Our Website
ANNUAL MASS OF SAINT PADARN
Dear all,
On behalf of the Saint Padarn Working Party, I offer a kind word of encouragement for a good attendance at the annual Mass at Llanbadarn Fawr on 18th April.This is a national celebration, and, as a small group in the parish of Aberystwyth organising this event each year, it would warm our hearts to see a good attendance and support from members of Y Cylch and your friends.
We can't promise good weather, but there is a pretty good record of sunny days here in Ceredigion, over the years, as we celebrate Saint Padarn!
With many thanks and the hope we shall see many of you there.

Aims
To help Welsh-speaking Catholics live a full spiritual life through the medium of their own language, by offering opportunities for worship in Welsh, and by promoting the work of providing books and essential resources to this end.
Ensure that the rich history of the Catholic Faith through the medium of Welsh is preserved for the generations to come.
Welcome
The Catholic Circle has been in existence since 1940.
Ioan Roberts' book, Gwinllan a Roddwyd, Hanes y Cylch Catholig is very readable, and summarizes our history over almost a century.
See our latest objectives above. One objective that has survived the decades is that we are a society that tries to be 'helpful to Catholics who speak Welsh to live a complete spiritual life through the medium of their mother tongue...'
On this website there are a few resources available, and information to open doors. We are meeting on ZOOM these days, as you can see. The Mass will be celebrated in Welsh on a number of annual dates, and monthly in some places. See the 'Mass' page for details.
All activities of the Cylch are voluntary under the patronage of the Bishops of Wales.
We have a membership that represents the four corners of the world. We are keen to give support to learners of the Welsh language.
