Living Bread
This month’s time of devotion before the Blessed Sacrament takes places at St Saviours on Wednesday at 6pm
Mass of the Sick
This is celebrated on Friday at 10am at St Saviours Church. We offer Mass for those who are sick and celebrate the Sacrament of the Sick with Laying on of Hands and Anointing. This Mass also celebrates the feast of All the Saints of Wales.
Clergy Appointment
The vacant post of Vicar for South Cardiff Ministry Area is now being advertised on the Diocesan Website and in the Church Times.
You can read the Ministry Area and Job profile at the Diocesan Website (link below). In the meantime, I’m grateful for your patience with so many things experienced under the current circumstances, particularly with the extra demands on my time and availability. I’m trying my best to meet those demands according to what is reasonably possible. We are also so grateful to the retired clergy who are helping to maintain the weekly and weekday celebrations, and to all who have particular responsibilities in each of our churches – Fr Dean.
Remember November
Commemorations, memorials and celebrations continue throughout November including a Memorial Service for those who have died homeless (above) which takes place at the end of the month.
You can also discover all the different ways in which we are commemorating Remembrance Sunday across the Ministry Area at our November pages on our website (and there are also separate details below)
Remembrance Sunday
We have some special occasions across the Ministry Area on and around Remembrance Sunday. Please note: on this day the Eucharist at St Paul’s will be at the earlier time of 9.45am and there will also be a short act of remembrance at Ss Dyfrig and Samson at the end of Mass.
Churches Together
The Annual General Meeting of CYTUN (Churches Together in the City Centre and the Bay) takes place on Wednesday November 6th at 730pm.
Member churches are invited to send two lay representatives along with the clergy. If you’d like to be involved then please speak to Fr Dean
Gaza Appeal
The conflict in Gaza is taking a devastating toll on the lives of people in Gaza. They’ve seen death and destruction on a scale of unimaginable proportions.
Over the next few Sundays there will be an opportunity to donate in a retiring collection at St Mary’s and St Saviour’s for the DEC Middle East Humanitarian Appeal through Christian Aid. You can find out more at the Christian Aid website
