Bishop Mary is delighted to announce that the Rev’d Edward Owen and the Rev’d Mary Evans have been appointed as Vicars in the Garth Ministry Area.
Edward is well known to the Diocese of Llandaff, having served in different posts right across the diocese. He is currently Vicar in the South Cardiff Ministry Area, overseeing St Dyfrig & St Samson’s and St Paul’s Grangetown and will be joining the Garth Ministry Area as Vicar for New Worshipping Communities.
Mary, who was ordained in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, and served in the Diocese of St Asaph, joins the Diocese of Llandaff for the first time as Vicar for Spirituality and Invitation for the Garth Ministry Area.
Bishop Mary says: “I am delighted that Edward and Mary are joining the Garth Ministry Area. Their appointment completes the clergy team and, I am confident that their pastoral wisdom, spiritual energy and their experience will set the foundation for the next stage in the life of the Garth Ministry Area as they seek to reach into the new communities in the ministry area and deepen the spirituality of those in their congregations.”
Both Edward Owen and Mary Evans will start in early Autumn. Edward will have pastoral oversight of the communities of Pentyrch, Capel Llanilltern and Groesfaen and Mary will have pastoral oversight of the communities of Radyr and Danescourt.
The churches of South Cardiff Ministry Area give thanks to God for Fr Edward’s ministry amongst us and we assure him and his wife Philippa of our prayers and support as he prepares for this next exciting stage in his ministry.
