Newly-ordained Father Peter McLaren gave a most moving homily at the grave of Saint John Kemble at on 22 August, the anniversary of the Saint’s martyrdom in 1679. Fr McLaren said: The 80-year-old priest lived much of his time in peace and became a wonderful witness to God, to Christ, on how me should love.” Fr McLaren spent the last year at Allen Hall before his ordination at St David’s Metropolitan Cathedral in July. He referred to the tradition in the seminary to pray to the 158 Douai Martyrs, priests who had studied at the English College there before facing great danger keeping the Catholic faith alive in what is now the UK. “These young men, like St John Kemble, had great futures ahead of them but were willing to face martyrdom. They are my heroes,” Fr McLaren told the 100 or so people gathered at Welsh Newton to honour Saint John Fr McLaren delivers a moving homily at the graveside Kemble..

Officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres, Passchendaele became infamous not only for the scale of casualties, but also for the mud. It had taken over three months, 325,000 Allied and 260,000 German casualties to do little more than make the bump of the Ypres - 32 of those soldiers killed were from Maesteg. On Saturday 15th July at Our Lady and St Patrick, Maesteg hosted a concert and service of Remembrance organised by Maesteg Town Council and the Royal British Legion. Taking part in the concert were a wide selection of children from the local schools, the Maesteg Gleemen, and Soloist Rhian Lyndsey. The service was led by parish priest Fr. Michael Doyle and included a poignant Family Act of Remembrance led by parishioner Mr. Michael Banks whose great uncle, Francis Banks, will killed in the battle. The remembrance included the reading of letters from Francis on the front line and communications among the family at the time. In all the Catholic of Maesteg lost 31 members during the Great War and a memorial containing their names can be found at the back of the church. It was fitting a fitting act of remembrance not only for the Catholic community, but also the entire Llynfi Valley.
