Biblical Art Competition for Half Term: “Divine Designs: Between the Covers”

The campaign to tackle the global debt crisis continues to gather momentum, as parishes across England and Wales stand in solidarity with communities most affected. Last year, 500 parishes joined the global Church’s call to address the growing debt crisis that is having a devastating impact on low-income countries. We extend our sincere thanks to all the parishes in the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia that took part in this vital effort. Pope Francis repeatedly called for action during the Jubilee Year, inspiring a powerful response. More than 44,000 people signed CAFOD’s petition, demonstrating a strong commitment to justice and global solidarity. Encouragingly, 2025 brought hopeful signs of progress, and this year we are building on that momentum.

Sunday 7th June

September 2026 to March 2027

Ordinary Time begins after the Christmas and Epiphany season, pauses for Lent, and then resumes after Pentecost, continuing until Advent. During this time, the Church focuses on the life and teachings of Jesus, especially on Sundays. Week by week, we listen to the Gospel readings, which help us come to know Christ more deeply. Ordinary Time reminds us that our faith is lived not only in special seasons, but in everyday life. It is a time to grow as disciples, allowing Christ to be present in all we do. As we take part in Sunday Mass and hear the Word of God, may it strengthen our faith, draw us closer to God, and inspire us to live with love and charity each day. The Cycle of Prayer: During Ordinary Time (Summer, up to September) We are asked to pray for these intentions: A Deeper Understanding between Christians and Jews; Those who Suffer Persecution, Oppression and Denial of Human Rights; Europe; Human Life; Seafarers.

Over the next two weekends (23rd/24th and 30/31 May), Confessions will not take place before either the Saturday Vigil Mass or the Sunday morning Mass, as these will be First Holy Communion Masses. The Sacrament of Reconciliation will return to its usual schedule on 6th and 7th June . In case of emergency, please contact Fr Keith directly.

Thank you from the U.C.M. We are thrilled to tell you that the last Coffee Morning raised £321.55. This is all thanks to your wonderful support! This money, as always, will be given to Parish funds.
