Pentecost Sunday
We celebrate Pentecost Sunday on May 19. The Feast brings the forty days of Easter to a close but our baptismal calling to “Walk in the light and keep the flame of faith alive in our hearts” continues. Read on.
OMG! It’s time for young people
OMG! is a time for young people to worship together and, this month, to enjoy some pizza! It takes place on Sunday May 19 at 6pm. Find out more here:
Christian Aid Week
Thank you to everyone who donated to Christian Aid Week. Amongst the generosity, St Saviour’s raised £160 on their Bake Sale last Sunday! There is still an opportunity to contribute for the final time in our churches this coming Sunday. We’ll update you on the total amount of money raised next week.
Churches on the move
Churches Together (CYTUN) is back with their Pentecost Walk on SaturdayMay 18, visiting and praying in each of the member churches. We begin at St Paul’s Church, Grangetown at 2pm. Why not join us for all or part of the walk?
Refugee Week 2024
Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.
Next week, we’ll be sharing our plans on how we’ll be celebrating the week which also includes Windrush Day and the “The Great Get Together” so look out for our online launch! 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! In the meantime, you can find out more about Refugee Week here:

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:
An end to homelessness
This week, our Justice Cafe welcomed Charles Sloper from the Homeless charity Llamau, and we explored how we can support their vision to end youth homelessness. You can learn more about Llamau at their website:
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!
The Merchant Navy remembers
Twice a year, the steps of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay are awash with memories as we remember members of the Merchant Navy who died during times of war. This year, on Saturday May 25, the service has been slightly changed to make it more embracing of different faiths and cultures churches.
Other news in brief
Saturday Mass at St Mary’s: For Sunday, May 25, the time of Mass has been slightly changed to 12 noon because of the availability of clergy. We’ll be back to the usual time from the following week!
John Ryan: We were saddened by the death of John Ryan from St Saviour’s, and we pray for his sister, Betti. Details of his funeral will be announced soon. ‘Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.’
