-On tonight's programme

-I'll be going on a pilgrimage...

0:00:370:00:41

-..accompanied by

-devout Catholic Sue Roberts.

0:00:420:00:45

-As well as the congregational

-singing, we'll enjoy performances...

0:00:450:00:50

-..by folk singer Sera Owen...

0:00:500:00:53

-..and Steffan Llewelyn Ellis, Bangor

-Cathedral Choir's treble soloist.

0:00:530:00:59

-We begin the programme with

-one of our most uplifting hymns.

0:01:030:01:08

-Bendigedig Fyddo'r Iesu.

0:01:080:01:10

-St Beuno's Church at Clynnog Fawr

-is an important location...

0:03:260:03:30

-..on the pilgrimage to Bardsey.

0:03:300:03:33

-This is where

-Sue and I begin our journey.

0:03:330:03:36

-It's a wonderful church, Sue.

-It's an enormous structure too.

0:03:380:03:42

-Why was it built

-here at Clynnog Fawr?

0:03:420:03:46

-Saint Beuno lived here.

0:03:460:03:49

-It was also

-a centre of education....

0:03:490:03:54

-..in the early centuries.

0:03:540:03:56

-It's one of the main churches

-along the pilgrims' journey...

0:03:570:04:01

-..to Bardsey Island.

0:04:020:04:04

-Saint Beuno

-was the uncle of Saint Winefride.

0:04:040:04:08

-The pilgrimage begins in Holywell...

0:04:080:04:13

-..one of Wales'

-most famous religious landmarks.

0:04:130:04:17

-Many pilgrims

-visit several times a year.

0:04:170:04:20

-It's also a very convenient place...

0:04:220:04:25

-..for the pilgrims to rest before

-moving on to their next destination.

0:04:260:04:31

-I know that pilgrimages

-are very important to you.

0:04:310:04:35

-Tell us a little about

-their purpose and significance.

0:04:350:04:39

-They started soon after

-Christ's death on the cross.

0:04:400:04:44

-People wanted to visit

-the places he had lived...

0:04:440:04:48

-..and where the events occurred.

0:04:480:04:50

-Pilgrimages have become an important

-undertaking for Christians.

0:04:510:04:55

-Pilgrims

-go to different countries...

0:04:560:04:58

-..where Mary had been or where

-a special saint had been buried.

0:04:590:05:03

-Pilgrims go on pilgrimages

-for several reasons.

0:05:060:05:09

-Curiosity for one.

0:05:090:05:11

-Some go as a penance for their sins.

0:05:130:05:17

-Others are praying for something,

-such as a cure...

0:05:170:05:21

-..or are going

-on behalf of someone else...

0:05:210:05:24

-..who can't go themselves

-due to illness or circumstance.

0:05:250:05:29

-I think everyone

-who goes on a pilgrimage...

0:05:310:05:34

-..comes away feeling better for it.

0:05:350:05:38

-I remember

-going to Lourdes years ago.

0:05:380:05:42

-A young woman from Nefyn

-and her two-year-old child...

0:05:420:05:47

-..came with us.

0:05:470:05:49

-The little boy

-suffered from serious fits.

0:05:490:05:52

-He spent much of his time

-at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool.

0:05:520:05:57

-It was a long way from Llyn,

-but the mother was always pleasant.

0:05:570:06:01

-She always had a smile on her face.

0:06:010:06:04

-She was very sweet.

0:06:040:06:06

-We all wondered how she

-had the strength to be like this.

0:06:060:06:10

-During the pilgrimage to Lourdes...

0:06:100:06:13

-..we attended

-a service for the sick...

0:06:130:06:16

-..where severely ill people

-are anointed.

0:06:160:06:19

-The mother and child

-went to the front...

0:06:190:06:22

-..while the rest of us

-were at the back.

0:06:220:06:25

-We met her after the service

-and she was in floods of tears.

0:06:250:06:29

-We were concerned

-about what had happened.

0:06:290:06:32

-But she confessed...

0:06:330:06:35

-..that she had reached

-the end of her tether.

0:06:360:06:39

-She didn't know how she was going to

-take the child to Alder Hey again...

0:06:390:06:43

-..not to mention

-at the end of the pilgrimage.

0:06:430:06:47

-But during that service,

-she was invigorated.

0:06:480:06:52

-She'd gone there

-for her son to be cured...

0:06:520:06:56

-..yet it was her who was blessed.

0:06:570:06:59

-She'd found the strength

-to carry on, and she did.

0:06:590:07:03

-She left the area

-and went to live elsewhere.

0:07:040:07:07

-We heard years later

-that her wish had been granted.

0:07:070:07:10

-Her child was cured.

0:07:100:07:12

-Bangor Cathedral

-is famous throughout the world...

0:09:460:09:50

-..for producing trebles.

0:09:500:09:52

-We all remember Aled Jones,

-of course.

0:09:520:09:55

-These days,

-there's a new star in the choir.

0:09:550:09:58

-Singing Ave Maria

-by Bach and Gounod...

0:09:580:10:00

-..this is Steffan Llewelyn Ellis.

0:10:000:10:02

-# Ave

0:10:180:10:25

-# Maria

0:10:260:10:33

-# Gratia plena

0:10:350:10:42

-# Dominus tecum

0:10:430:10:50

-# Benedicta tu

0:10:510:11:00

-# In mulieribus

0:11:020:11:10

-# Et benedictus

0:11:110:11:18

-# Fructus ventris

0:11:190:11:25

-# Ventris tuae Jesus

0:11:260:11:33

-# Santa

0:11:340:11:38

-# Maria

0:11:380:11:42

-# Santa

0:11:430:11:46

-# Maria

0:11:460:11:50

-# Maria

0:11:500:11:54

-# Ora pro nobis

0:11:550:12:02

-# Nobis peccatoribus

0:12:030:12:10

-# Nunc et in hora

0:12:110:12:18

-# In hora

0:12:180:12:23

-# Mortis nostrae

0:12:230:12:28

-# Amen

0:12:280:12:35

-# Amen #

0:12:370:12:46

-That was Ave Maria.

0:12:480:12:50

-Mary, as the mother of Jesus,

-was used to suffering.

0:12:510:12:54

-A hymn writer from Wales who had

-his fair share of suffering...

0:12:540:12:58

-..was JT Job,

-the author of our next hymn.

0:12:590:13:02

-"Ar yrfa bywyd yn y byd,

-a'i throeon enbyd hi."

0:13:020:13:06

-We end our pilgrimage today...

0:14:580:15:00

-..at a church that's

-very special to you in Abersoch.

0:15:000:15:04

-Yes, this is

-a very special church for me.

0:15:050:15:08

-In 2001, I was given 175,000

-by the bishopric...

0:15:090:15:14

-..to restore the church.

0:15:140:15:16

-It was built in 1953, and by 2001,

-it was in a pitiful state.

0:15:160:15:22

-The drains had blocked

-and it was letting in water.

0:15:220:15:26

-The priest's living quarters

-were uninhabitable.

0:15:260:15:31

-We had a problem,

-because, as everyone knows...

0:15:340:15:38

-..priests are becoming scarce...

0:15:380:15:41

-..and we had no hope of finding

-a priest to serve all the visitors.

0:15:410:15:45

-I came up with the idea of

-giving priests a busman's holiday.

0:15:460:15:49

-They can come here,

-stay in a five-star hotel...

0:15:500:15:53

-..for a week or a fortnight

-with their family or friends...

0:15:530:15:57

-..or just to spend time alone...

0:15:570:16:00

-..as long as they conduct mass on

-Saturday night and Sunday morning.

0:16:000:16:04

-The system runs like clockwork.

0:16:050:16:07

-We have plenty of priests...

0:16:070:16:09

-..and during winter,

-when the place is empty...

0:16:090:16:13

-..we open it up to visitors

-to raise funds...

0:16:130:16:16

-..for the church's upkeep.

0:16:170:16:19

-The money generated from Abersoch...

0:16:190:16:22

-..by wealthy visitors...

0:16:230:16:25

-..is a great help

-to its mother church in Pwllheli...

0:16:250:16:28

-..to maintain the upkeep.

0:16:290:16:32

-Tell us about the Catholic Church

-in Wales nowadays.

0:16:320:16:35

-Like every denomination,

-numbers are dwindling.

0:16:360:16:40

-Having said that,

-we're standing our ground.

0:16:410:16:45

-People come and go.

0:16:470:16:49

-People join the Church,

-one or two every year...

0:16:490:16:54

-..around Easter time.

0:16:540:16:56

-We're very active.

0:16:560:16:58

-We're taught from an early age,

-when the nuns taught us...

0:16:580:17:03

-..that you have to work

-and have to maintain the tradition.

0:17:030:17:07

-We do a lot of fundraising.

0:17:070:17:10

-The bike ride

-was one example of that.

0:17:100:17:14

-We also support

-the Air Ambulance and local causes.

0:17:150:17:18

-We do a lot of work

-with older people...

0:17:190:17:21

-..and those

-who are confined to their homes.

0:17:220:17:25

-We visit them and so on.

0:17:250:17:27

-The work of the Church

-is visible in these parts.

0:17:270:17:31

-People are happy to join us

-and support us in our events...

0:17:310:17:35

-..which is a great thing.

0:17:350:17:37

-No matter what denomination, it's

-lovely that we all come together.

0:17:380:17:42

-It's been a pleasure talking to you.

-Thank you.

0:17:430:17:46

-You're welcome.

0:17:460:17:48

-My only friend.

0:20:530:20:55

-You shoulder all my worries.

0:20:550:20:57
