Sunday 6 OCTOBER 2024
As ever there is a warm welcome for the Joint Ministry Area Service (Harvest Thanksgiving) on Sunday October 6th which will be at St. Gwenfaen’s 11am. This will be the only service in the Ministry Area that day.
Harvest Gifts – Once again we will be supporting the wonderful work of The Lighthouse. Packets/tins of pasta, rice, tomatoes, beans, soups, biscuits, coffee etc. will be most welcome. But please no chick peas, red kidney beans, cereal, tea bags, or toiletries, as they have a large stash of these items!! If you are able to support then please bring along your harvest gifts to the service on October 6th, if not then please take them either to St. David’s or St. Ffraid’s the week before or week after – thank you. The Lighthouse are so grateful for this support.
There is usually a service of Holy Communion or Morning Prayer at St Ffraid’s every Sunday at St Ffraid’s at 11am.

History
There’s been a Church at Trearddur Bay for 1,600 years. Legend tells us that St Ffraid brought the precious gospel message across the sea from Ireland in a tiny coracle or sailing on square of |green Irish turf.  A  wooden church was constructed on the beach and stood there for many generations.
The site is now marked by a Celtic Stone cross looking out across the beautiful bay. Find out more about St Ffraid’s history

Location

The church is situated on Lon St Ffraid, the main road through Trearddur Bay. It is on the left when travelling away from Holyhead towards Valley.
