Refugee Week 2024
This week, we launched our programme for Refugee Week. It’s the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. During the week we also celebrate Windrush Day and the “The Great Get Together.” This year’s theme is “Our Home” and we’ll begin our celebrations on Sunday 16 June so make sure you put the week in your diary! Find out more here:
Churches on the move
Last Saturday, on the Eve of Pentecost, Churches Together took to the streets and walked from church to church beginning at St Paul’s Church and ending at Eglwys Dewi Sant. Check out our video highlights.
Faithful Butetown
This week, we welcomed an amazing group of school children from Pembrokeshire. During Refugee Week, we will welcome a further 240 children to participate in our Faithful Butetown Discovery Days. Check out what they have in store with this web resource for visiting schools.
Pentecost Sunday
We had great celebrations across the churches of the Ministry Area last week for the Feast of Pentecost. Check out something of the celebrations at St Saviour’s in this video!
Bring and Share
Fr Dean reviews a book by Martyn Snow, the Bishop of Leicester. “An Intercultural Church for a Multicultural World” is a book which explores the theme of gift exchange in a diverse and multicultural world and how we might think and act with greater cultural sensitivity
OMG! It’s Pentecost!
Take a look at our OMG! Pentecost celebrations with young people last Sunday. A time of worship followed by pizza with a number of young people signing up to the Walsingham Youth Pilgrimage in August!
Elected for service
Congratulations to Jane Henshaw, a member of St Saviours congregation and a local Councillor who, this week, was elected as Mayor of Cardiff for the next year.
Glastonbury Pilgrimage
The Glastonbury Pilgrimage is 100 years old! If you’d like a seat on the coach leaving from Cardiff then either add your name to the list in church or get in touch with us. A £10 payment is required. You can find out more about the pilgrimage here:
Corpus Christi
Like so many gifts regularly received we can take the Eucharist for granted, forget the great Mystery of Faith. And so we need some reminders, something to make us think. A feast will do just the job! Get ready for Corpus Christi Sunday on June 2
Welcome home
The housing crisis in Cardiff and across the UK means that many families are living in unsuitable accommodation. We’re giving a welcome gift to new families in housing need who will be living in our community of Butetown when Cargo House is reopened. You can discover more about it here, and how you can be involved!
