We warmly congratulate the twenty children from our parish who recently received their First Holy Communion. It was a joyful and grace-filled occasion for them, their families, and our whole community. Since Christmas, a total of sixty children have now taken this important step in their journey of faith, and we give thanks for each one of them. Looking ahead, the next preparation programme will begin shortly after Christmas, early in the new year. It will be open to children who will be in Years 3 to 6 in the academic year 2026/27. Further details and application forms will be made available after the Summer holidays. In the meantime, we are very happy to receive early expressions of interest from families who wish their children to take part.

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.
