The Great Get Together
We love being part of the ‘More in Common Network’, and the ‘The Great Get Together’ is firmly embedded in our diary.
Our celebrations for the week are wonderfully wrapped up in our Mass for Sanctuary Sunday followed by a Barbecue at St Mary’s on Sunday 23 June at 12 noon. Invite your friends and families and neighbours!
Sanctuary Sunday
This Sunday is Sanctuary Sunday and marks the end of Refugee Week. Thanks to all who have helped and participated in so many different ways. Join us for Mass at the usual times when we’ll be giving thanks for all the blessings of the past few days and praying for refugees everywhere.
Here are just a few images from some of the events we’ve celebrated over the last few days.
The whole world over
On Tuesday, we welcomed Blaneavon Heritage School for a Faithful Butetown Discovery Day.
The school is twinned with St Mary’s school and this week was the first time the pupils met. Fr Dean reflects at the end of the day. You can read his blog post here, along with other articles and posts:
Welsh Refugee Council Celebrations
Drop into Cardiff Central Hub on Saturday between 11am and 3pm for a colourful celebration for Refugee Week
Coffee Morning
A look back at 2023
Our Annual Vestry Meeting is scheduled for Monday June 24 at 7.30 pm at Ss Dyfrig and Samson. This is a time to accept the Annual Report and Financial Report, and to plan for the year ahead with the election of our Ministry Area Council and Churchwardens. Election forms are available in each of the churches from Sunday. You can read the report below.
Summer Praise & Strawberry Tea
Come and sing your favourite hymns (let us know before the day who you would like to sing!) and enjoy a Strawberry Tea afterwards on Sunday 11 July at 4pm at Ss Dyfrig and Samson. More details soon!
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. The bus leaves St Mary’s Church at 8.45am, and leaves Glastonbury approximately 4 pm. You can find out more about the pilgrimage here:
