Liturgy in the Welsh Language
Bishop Emeritus Edwin Regan, although no longer Ordinary of any Diocese, by agreement of the current Catholic bishops in Wales retains responsibility for Catholic liturgy in the Welsh language. The following liturgical texts are published here with his permission.
Each text is offered as a DOC and a PDF. The DOC is offered with minimal formatting so that it can be taken and reformatted for your own use. The PDF is designed so that printed one page to an A4 sheet, the text is of suitable size for an Altar edition and printed 2-up on A4, is suitable for a people's book.
Caveat: I am not a fluent Welsh speaker and cannot vouch for spotting transcription mistakes in spelling or grammar. Corrections are welcome!
