Archbishop Mark O‘Toole’s Pastoral Letter January 2026

By Webmaster • January 26, 2026
‘Heart speaks to Heart’ – being a missionary and synodal diocese  – A Pastoral Message to the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia Archbishop Mark has published a pastoral letter calling the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia to become a missionary and synodal diocese, built on a foundation of prayer and four key pillars: youth and vocations, evangelising zeal, formation in faith, and loving service of those in need. This letter, titled ‘Heart speaks to heart’, takes its inspiration from St John Henry Newman’s motto and challenges Catholics across south and mid Wales and Herefordshire to encounter Christ more deeply and share that encounter with others. The Archbishop poses direct questions throughout: Are our parishes places that make disciples? Do we really believe Jesus is with us, or do we live as practical atheists? Do our initiatives reach beyond the circle of friends we already have? The letter will be broken into six pieces for study during Lent or Eastertide, with reflection questions for use in parishes, schools and communities across the archdiocese.

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.
