A Clear Vision

Spend any time on our website, and you’ll know that our life together as a Ministry Area has three important areas. We aim to be a creative and resourceful community which is Welcoming, Faithful and Just.

With limited resources, we often work beyond our perceived capacity, and so much of what we are able to do is about being creative and resourceful with what we have.

Even before the Ministry Area was formed in January 2022, the four churches of St Mary’s, St Saviour’s, Ss Dyfrig and Samson, and St Paul’s were working together to plan for the future but since then we also work to a common vision around those important areas of being Welcoming, Faithful and Just.

You can read our Vision Document below. We’ve already achieved so much but we want to continue and embed the ministry and work we are doing, so that we become and remain a strong and cohesive community of faith working across Butetown, Grangetown and Splott.

Our Vision


We are

a community of communities, crossing bridges, bridging boundaries, reaching out in friendship to make a difference.

We have

a strong identity as Christians in the catholic tradition of the Church in Wales but we also love and embrace difference and diversity.  There is so much to learn from each other, and we respect and value the journey others are making.

We are

part of the fabric of Butetown, Grangetown and Splott in South Cardiff Ministry Area and love to  work in partnership with others to create strong and vibrant communities.

We have much to share with others, helping to enrich the diversity and growth of the wider church and community, releasing our gifts and resources through a culture of generosity and mutual love, as we recognise and celebrate that we are all part of the one Body of Christ. Likewise, we are keen to learn from others, working together in creative ways to enrich the Church and our outreach.

We want to be a church that is creative, resourceful, sustainable, generous and thankful, and each of our aims will be done in a way that is creative.
