around 550.
His best-known miracle is said to have
taken place when he was preaching in
the middle of a large crowd at the
Synod of Brefi. The ground on which
he stood is reputed to have risen up to
form a small hill. A white dove, which
became his emblem, was seen settling
on his shoulder.
David was buried at St David's Cathedral
at St Davids, Pembrokeshire, where his
shrine was a popular place of pilgrimage
throughout the Middle Ages.
David was officially recognized at the
Holy See by Pope Callixtus II in 1120.
The Church’s Annual Meeting (APCM) is held in March to receive the reports from the Rector, Churchwardens
and the Treasurer. The Churchwardens, Treasurer and Parochial Church Council are elected at this meeting.
The Rector and PCC would like more people to become involved with the church and would be pleased to hear
from anyone who would like to become a member of the PCC, Churchwarden or Treasurer.
Copy of the Annual Report and Treasurers Report will be available in the church after the meeting.
