The Epiphany of the Lord

By Webmaster • January 2, 2026
On Tuesday we celebrate the great Solemnity of the Epiphany, a Holiday of Obligation. Masses on Tuesday will be at 10am at St. Teilo’s and 6pm at Our Lady of Lourdes.  On this feast day, the Church celebrates the shining forth of Jesus to the world. The word “Epiphany” means “manifestation” or “showing forth.” Historically, several moments in Christ’s early life and ministry have been celebrated as “epiphanies,” including His birth in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, His baptism by John, and His first miracle at Cana. On this day the Liturgy of the Church focuses on the visit of the Magi. As we celebrate the coming of the Magi, may we bring ourselves, our hearts, and lay them before the Lord Jesus, that He can use them as He wills. We are to be gifts of faithful service to Him.

Night Shelter at St. Mary of the Angels, Canton and St. Peter’s, Roath

By Webmaster • January 2, 2026
Many thanks for your ongoing support for the homeless at the Night Shelter at St. Mary of the Angels, Canton, the St. Peter’s night shelter has also reopened recently. The team still needs a lot of boxer shorts (around 32”), plus hats, gloves, socks and jackets for the people who use the night shelters, they are also in need of jeans or trousers (also 32” waists). Please note that the young people are medium size at most. Please do not donate large clothes items. Sleeping bags and haversacks are also very welcome. The team also needs Fizzy drinks, chocolate bars, crisps, sweets and cakes. If you are able to help by donating any of these items, please drop them at the back of either Church.

Thanks for all the Hard Work

By Webmaster • January 2, 2026
Many thanks also to the volunteers who did such a great deal of work to enable us to celebrate Christmas in style this year. Much of the work is done quietly while no one else is around: the Crib prepared, the brasses polished, the flowers arranged and the rest of the Church cleaned and decorated. None of these things happen by themselves. They take time and effort and I would like to thank all those, who gave of their time to do this work for the benefit of all of us who worship in the parish. Thanks too to the Altar Servers, Readers, Musicians and other Ministers of the Mass who enabled us to have a wonderful celebration of the Birth of the Lord. I would like to thank all of you who have ministered in any way, especially those whom I have forgotten to mention above.  Canon John

An Act of Spiritual Communion


My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

 Amen.
