FIRST HOLY MASS – REV. MATTHEW ROCHE-SAUNDERS: It was a wonderful and memorable weekend when Rev. Matthew visited us to celebrate his First Holy Mass in the Parish of the Welsh Martyrs. He was very much touched by the warm welcome by parishioners. We all hope to see him again soon! Every New Priest is a Sign of Hope and comes as a Great Blessing especially in these days of scarcity for priests. We are blessed to have Rev. Matthew who is assigned to Haverfordwest. Please keep him in your prayers that he may find joy and fulfilment in all his undertakings. Fr. Matthew would like to Thank You all for your kindness towards him and the wonderful sharing with tea and coffees. He cherishes his time with us and has kindly offered the Aberaeron Holy Mass for all the people of the Parish. May God continue to bless him and keep him in His Palm!

enter the process are expected to begin attending

Holy Mass on a Sunday, attend a weekly RCIA
