Welcome to The Shrine of Our Lady of the Taper
Croeso i Gysegrfan Genedlaethol Cymry, Mair y Tapr, a phlwyf i bobl Aberteifi a’r cyffiniau. Mae’r rheithor ac offeiriad plwyf Fr Pius, hefyd yn gwasanaethu plwyf Mair, y Frenhines Heddwch, yng Nghastell Newydd Emlyn.
Mae cerflun Mair y Tapr yn un sy’n portreadu cysur a gobaith mawr i ni, wrth i Mair ddal ei Mab, ac yn ei gyflwyno i ni fel ein Arglwydd a’n Duw, mae’n goleuo ein ffordd iddo. Yn dywyll y noson, mae’r tapr yn goleuo wynebau Mam a Phlentyn, ac yn ein dysgu o’n Ffydd Gristnogol, mai Crist yw golau’r byd, a rôl Mair yw ein harwain at olau Dwyfol ei Mab.
Welcome to The Shrine of Our Lady of the Taper, the national shrine of Wales and parish for the people of Cardigan and surrounding areas. The shrine rector and parish priest Fr Pius also serves the parish of Our Lady, Queen of Peace in Newcastle Emlyn.
The image of Our lady of the Taper is one that portrays great comfort and hope for us, as the Virgin holds her Son, and presents Him to us as our Lord and God, she lights our way to Him. In the dark of the evening, the lighted taper illuminates the faces of Mother and Child, and teaches us of our Christian Faith, that Christ is the light of the world, and the role of Our Lady is to lead us to the Divine light of her Son.

Many people come and visit the shrine, and they come for many different reasons.Â
Some have great devotion and trust in the prayers of Mary, commending us to her Son, as a loving mother, praying for us and our needs.
Others come, searching for hope, peace and light.
The shrine welcomes all, and all who visit here are kept in our prayers.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things
and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,
come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.
Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguori
