Parish Christmas Bazaar The Parish Christmas Bazaar will take place in St. Teilo’s Hall on Saturday, November 14th , 11 am - 1.15pm, and also on Sunday November 15th after mass, entry is free. There will be homemade jams and chutneys, hand kitted items, handmade cards, Piety stall, tombola, Refreshments, and more... (please see the poster below)

Walk and Talk Due to the clocks going back this weekend and the darker nights the Walk and Talk group will meet at the earlier time of 2pm every Wednesday at the Scott Memorial Lighthouse Roath Park. If anybody would like to join the group, please contact Carole on 07747 562847.

Can you bake a cake that would make Mary Berry proud? Whip up a jam that would make Paddington Bear smile? Or create chutneys so delicious that even Santa would come back for seconds? If so, we need YOU! We are looking for kind-hearted parishioners to donate homemade cakes, jams and chutneys for our Christmas Bazaar at St Teilo’s. Every donation, however big or small, will help make our bazaar a success. So, dust off your mixing bowls, warm up those ovens and get those preserving pans bubbling! If your culinary talents are more “stir and hope” than “Bake Off champion”, don't worry — shop-bought donations are welcome too! Every jar, every cake, and every contribution is greatly appreciated.  Please let us know if you can help. Together, we can make this Christmas Bazaar a truly delicious success! Please speak to the welcomers after any Mass

There will be no coffee and tea after Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes on Wednesday 28th October due to the earlier time of Mass.

Please note that Mass on Saturday will be at the earlier time of 8.30am. This is to enable Canon to attend an event in Caerphilly later in the morning. There will be no Saturday Morning Confessions this week.
