Caffi Catwg - St Catwg's Church

On Wednesday mornings at St Catwg’s, we have a service at 10am which is immediately followed by an open coffee morning which starts at 10.45am and lasts until 12 noon. We call this gathering ‘Caffi Catwg’, and about 20-30 people come – we are always keen to welcome new people. Most people who attend are retired but folk of all ages are welcome. Caffi Catwg is an opportunity to meet new people, just chat with friends and we usually have a couple of fun games too, whilst sat with our coffee and biscuits. We’d love you to join us.
