Eglwys y Drindod Sanctaidd
Adeiladwyd Eglwys y Drindod Sanctaidd, Penrhyndeudraeth, ym 1858. Eglwys Fictoraidd ydyw a gynlluniwyd gan TM Penson a’i hadeiladu gyda chymorth rhodd hael gan Mrs William Oakeley o Gwmni Cloddio Llechi Oakeley, Blaenau Ffestiniog. Ychwanegwyd neuadd eglwys o adeiladwaith parod i’r dwyrain o’r prif adeilad. Cyfeiriad Arolwg Ordnans SH611388.
Yn 2018, dathlasom ein pen-blwydd yn 160 a daeth aelodau o’r gymuned, cynrychiolwyr sefydliadau lleol, ein Haelod Seneddol Liz Saville Roberts a’r Arglwydd Raglaw Edmund Bailey i fwynhau Gwasanaeth Dathlu a phregeth fyfyriol gan y Parchedig Susan Owen a fu gynt yn beriglor y plwyf. Cynhaliwyd arddangosfa o hanes Eglwys y Drindod Sanctaidd yr un pryd. Ym mis Tachwedd, buom yn cofio’r bobl o’r dref a gollodd eu bywydau yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf gydag arddangosfa o eitemau hanesyddol ynghyd â llythyrau ingol o’r Ffosydd at aelodau teuluoedd y milwyr ym Mhenrhyndeudraeth.
Cynaliasom Ffair Haf Gymunedol fis Gorffennaf, Ffair Nadolig fis Tachwedd a Gŵyl Coed Nadolig yn cychwyn fis Rhagfyr. Honno oedd yr ŵyl gyntaf o’i bath i’w chynnal yn ein Heglwys ninnau ac roedd yn cynnwys coed o’r clybiau a’r sefydliadau yn y dref ac yn agor tymor yr Adfent.
Rydym ar hyn o bryd yn trafod ailwampio’r Eglwys er mwyn darparu canolfan galw heibio gyda gwresogi effeithiol, ystafell dawel ar gyfer trafod un wrth un a gofod ychwanegol ar gyfer addoliad a gweithgareddau.
Ein harwyddair yw: Drws agored, ar gyfer Addoli, ar gyfer Gymuned, ar gyfer Bywyd.

Cafodd gardd gymunedol wedi’i chyflwyno i ddioddefwyr pandemig Covid 2020 – 2022 ei agoriad swyddogol yn ddiweddar gan y Cynghorydd Meryl Roberts yn Eglwys y Drindod Sanctaidd, Penrhyndeudraeth. Cyflwynwyd y syniad o ardd goffa mewn cystadleuaeth a drefnwyd gan Ecclesiastical Insurance ac fe gyrhaeddodd rownd derfynol Ranbarthol Cymru yn 2021. Galluogodd cefnogaeth bellach gan gronfa Eglwysi Cymru a weinyddir gan Gyngor Gwynedd i weledigaeth yr ardd gael ei gwireddu, ac mae bellach yn cynnwys meinciau coffaol sy’n edrych allan dros aber afon Dwyryd tua Chastell Harlech, gwelyau blodau ar gyfer planhigion peillio, llwybr sy’n hygyrch i gadeiriau olwyn a gwelyau plannu uchel er mwyn i drigolion sydd â llai o symudedd allu cymryd rhan a garddio, ac adeiladwyd yr ardd gan yr eglwys a gwirfoddolwyr a chyflenwyr lleol. Mae ardal addysgol a chadwraeth ar gyfer plant yn cynnwys llecyn picnic a man gweithio yn yr awyr agored, gyda phwll bach i ddenu bywyd gwyllt y dŵr.
Plannwyd coeden goffadwriaethol gan y Cynghorydd Cymunedol Meryl Roberts yn ystod yr agoriad. “Mae’r ardd ar agor yn ddyddiol gydol y flwyddyn, mynediad am ddim, a bydd yn parhau fel man ar gyfer myfyrdod tawel ar gyffordd tref brysur.” meddai Angela Swann, aelod o’r Eglwys. “Gwahoddir unrhyw un a gollodd aelod o’u teulu, ffrindiau neu gydweithwyr o ganlyniad i’r feirws a oedd yn drigolion Gwynedd i gael cofnodi eu henwau mewn Llyfr Coffáu a fwriedir ei lunio yn yr eglwys yn 2023, sydd bellach ar agor 10am–4pm yn ddyddiol.”
Meddai’r Parchedig Roland, “Mewn byd sy’n llawn pwysau a phryderon, o newid hinsawdd i drallod economaidd a gwrthdaro, mae’n braf cael man tawel, distaw i eistedd a myfyrio, a chael codi ein calonnau gan rywbeth gwirioneddol hardd; lliwiau’r blodau a chân yr adar.
“Mae’r ardd hon yn glod i aelodau’r eglwys ac aelodau cymuned Penrhyndeudraeth, sydd wedi dod ynghyd i greu rhywbeth gwerth chweil.”
Meddai’r Cynghorydd Meryl Roberts, “Roedd yn anrhydedd agor yr ardd hon fel fy ymrwymiad cyntaf fel cynghorydd sir. Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i bawb sydd wedi gweithio ar yr ardd, ac mae’n werth dod i weld yr ardd ac eistedd ynddi.”

Holy Trinity Church, Penrhyndeudraeth
Holy Trinity Church, Penrhyndeudraeth was built in 1858; a Victorian church designed by TM Penson and was built with a generous donation from Mrs William Oakley of the Oakley Slate Mining Company, Blaenau Ffestiniog. There is an addition of prefabricated church hall to the east aspect. OS Reference SH611388
In 2018 we celebrated our 160th Anniversary and community members, representatives of local organisations along with our local MP Liz Saville Roberts and Lord Lieutenant Edmund Bailey enjoyed an Anniversary Service and reflective sermon by Reverend Susan Owen a onetime incumbent of the parish. With this, there was a display of Holy Trinity’s History. In November we remembered those from the town who had lost their lives in the First World War with a display of items and memorabilia along with poignant letters from The Front to family members in Penrhyndeudraeth.
We held a Community Summer Fair in July, a Christmas Fair in November and a Christmas Tree Festival starting in December. The first to be held in our church and which will include trees from the clubs and organisations in the town and this will herald in Advent.
We are currently discussing reordering of the church to provide a drop in centre with efficient heating, café area, quiet room for consultations, and additional space for worship and activities.
Our motto is: Open Door, for Praise, for Community, for Life.

A community garden dedicated to victims of the Covid pandemic of 2020 to 2022 was officially opened recently by Councillor Meryl Roberts at Holy Trinity Church Penrhyndeudraeth. The idea of a garden of remembrance was entered into a competition organised by Ecclesiastical Insurance and was voted Wales Regional Finalist in 2021. Further support from The Welsh Church fund administered by Gwynedd Council enabled the garden to be realised and now includes commemorative benches with views of the Dwyryd Estuary towards Harlech Castle, flowerbeds for pollinating plants, a wheelchair accessible path and raised beds for less mobile residents to take part in gardening, and was built by church and resident volunteers and local suppliers. A children’s educational and conservation area provides a picnic and outside working area with small pond to attract aquatic wildlife.
A commemorative tree was planted by Community Councillor Meryl Roberts at the opening.
“The garden is open daily throughout the year, free to visit, and will remain a place of quiet reflection in the crossroads of a busy town’ said Angela Swann congregational member. ’Anyone whose family, friends or colleagues died as a result of contracting the virus and were Gwynedd residents are invited to have their names recorded into a Book of Remembrance planned for 2023 at the church, which is now open daily from 10-4pm.”
The Reverend Roland commented; “In a world dominated by pressures and worries, from climate change to economic woes and conflicts, it is so nice to have a calm, quiet space to sit and reflect, and have our spirits lifted by something truly beautiful; the bright colour of flowers and singing of birds.
The garden is a credit to the church members and members of Penrhyndeudraeth community, who have come together to create something really worthwhile.”
Councillor Meryl Roberts said “ It was an honour to open the garden as my first engagement as a county councillor. I would also like to thank everyone who has worked on the garden and it’s worth coming to have a look and sit in the garden “
