YOU are the church and YOUR regular gift enables us to continue all that we do, and will help us to do even more.
At our Masses at St Mary’s and St Saviour’s on Sunday 14 April, we are celebrating the generosity of God, and giving thanks for the amazing response of so many people who help to make a difference!
All are invited to consider how and why we give and, if possible, to make a renewed and regular offering to the mission and ministry of the church in these communities.
TOGETHER, we can continue to be a resourceful and creative community which is Welcoming, Faithful and Just.
Celebrate and Pledge
We will give thanks for God’s goodness and the generous lives of many people who enable and enrich the mission and ministry of our churches in so many ways.
We’ll give thanks for what we already do, made possible by your ongoing generosity.
If you wish, you can also make your own personal pledge. You may find the pledge form (available in each church) as a useful, tangible expression of your renewed giving. They can be placed in the plate used for offerings at the Mass.
However, this is by no means essential! It’s just one way to enable people to be part of the life and mission of South Cardiff Ministry Area.
You can discover more about how and why we give at our giving pages.

You make the difference
You put the heart in our mission.
You put the soul in our service.
You are the one who helps us stand alongside those who seek sanctuary, a place to call home, far from home.
You are the one who enables us to look around, wide eyed to need, and respond with compassion and care.
You are the one who walks with our priests when they visit the sick, the young and the old, when they stand in the school assembly hall, or sit with the bereaved.
You are the one who helps our churches to be places of welcome, day in, day out, Sunday by Sunday, year by year.
You are the one who pays the bills, mows the grass, mends the broken windows, sweeps the leaves, keeps a roof over our heads, cares for the past and moves forward into a new future.
You are the one who feeds families in crisis, places a coffee into their hands, gives a smile, gives a damn.
You are the one who reaches out to help young people flourish and grow, to grow up, be safe, and who walks through the school corridors receiving high-fives.
You are the one who gives us priests to celebrate the Mass and place into our hands the Body of Christ, bury the dead, listen to pains, smile when we smile, and lead us on the pilgrim way.
You are the one who helps us build friendships with people of all faiths, creating communities that are vibrant and strong, speaking peace, speaking up and speaking out.
You are the one who helps us share our space with others, finds the common ground, allows us to lean close to the lonely, and never lose faith.
Yes, it’s you and your gifts which help to make us all that we are and all that we are called to be.
It’s you, and you, and you!
