Holy Hour
Each month, beginning on Wednesday 1 May, our Holy Hour offers a time of gentle prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Come for the whole hour or just part of it. Find out more in our blog post:
A Celtic Island Pilgrimage
We’re launching the pilgrimage dates for 2024. Why not join us for a unique pilgrimage experience to the island of Flat Holm in the Bristol Channel?
Citizens Catch Up
As members of Citizens Cymru, we’re privileged to be part of a project funded by The Youth Endowment Fund which provides an amazing way to help young people in Butetown and Grangetown to flourish. A number of projects and interventions are well underway. Earlier this week, the Core Team met to explore progress.
Grounds for gardening
As the Spring edges us into the gardens, we celebrate some of the outdoor spaces of our churches – how they’re used, what we hope to achieve and how you can get involved.
Moorland makes a meal of it
Moorland STAR in Splott is open three days a week, providing a hot meal for members – but also so much more! Fr Dean (one of three Board members from St Saviour’s Church) popped in to see what all the fuss is about!
Christian Aid Week
It’s Christian Aid Week from May 12 -18th. With your help, we can work towards a world where families can escape the trap of poverty and fulfil their ambitions. Seven days, so many ways to fund lasting change. There’ll be an opportunity to donate in each of our churches.
Our Lady of the Tapers
Our friends at Cardiff Oratory at St Alban’s Church in Splott will be welcoming the image of Our Lady of the Tapers (which is housed at the Roman Catholic National Shrine at Cardigan) on Friday 3 May with Mass and Torchlight Procession at 7pm. To find out more about the image and the shrine visit:
The Iron Maiden
Traditionally, May is Mary’s month and in many churches and homes throughout the world her image is crowned with a garland of flowers. Accompanied by images of Mary from our churches, we reflect on the part that Mary plays in the life of the Church.
