Our pilgrimage to Llanilltud Fawr / Llantwit Major organised by Fr Nicholas of the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, Cardiff.
St Illtud’s Church, a cradle of Christianity in Wales, former site of St Illtud’s monastery and school of learning for many saints of the age.
O Illtud the wise and most learned of men
you trained many disciples to be holy and Christ-like.
Such men and women are needed as never before.
Pray continue your intercession for us all
PARISH PILGRIMAGE
Saturday 30 September 2023
Llanilltud Fawr / Llantwit Major
St Illtud (c.475-c.525) was a Celtic saint, venerated as one of the founders of monasticism in Britain and abbot of a famous school of learning at Llanilltud Fawr in Glamorgan where Gildas, St Paul Aurelian and St David may have studied. The monastery flourished until the time of the Norman invasion.
With our friends from the parish of St Nicholas, Cardiff, we are making a pilgrimage to the 13th century church which is on the site of Illtud’s monastery.
Divine Liturgy will be at 11.00 am followed by a Paraklesis to St Illtud. The church is in the centre of the village (CF61 1WG) and near the railway station of Llantwit Major.

We are pleased to invite you to this year’s youth festival, which will take place 26-29 May at the Othona Community, a lovely nature reserve in Essex by the sea.
We have some great speakers lined up and will share more about them with you soon! In addition to the talks, you can expect daily Matins and Vespers, nice strolls by the seaside, a beach campfire, Divine Liturgy on Sunday, and other social activities you can take part of if you would like, but also plenty of free time to just enjoy the surroundings and relax or sit around and talk to others attendees.
For more details see https://www.orthodoxyouth.co.uk/
The main event of the year, which usually takes place on one of the May Bank Holiday weekends out in the countryside. The Festival is 3-4 days full of interesting talks by a variety of speakers (bishops, priests, monks, nuns and accasionally academics and laity as well) based around a common theme. Some of the other activities you can expect include walks, bonfire nights, sports, games and more (and you are free to skip the ones not appealing to you)! There is also plenty of “unorganised” time for personal conversations both with the speakers and with other attendees.
