Clothes donations for the SVP The Parish St. Vincent De Paul (SVP) Conference undertakes a monthly collection of clothing for the SVP Charity Shop. Clean, good quality clothing, books and toys are welcome. Donations may be left outside the confessionals at the rear of St. Teilo’s this weekend, August 10th , and on the weekend of the Second Sunday of each month. Please ensure that donations are brought to the Church only on the specified Sundays, as we do not want the Church to become cluttered during the week.. – Thank you from the parish SVP.

The donations for the Reaching Out project made via the recent collection and the e-donation machine amounted to £934.27, an excellent contribution showing the on-going support of the Parish Community for this vital work of providing for those who are disadvantaged and in need of the very basic things of life. Mary Chichester’s Local Vocal Choir concert raised the great sum of £1,020 for the cause. Very many thanks to all those who donated and/or came to the concert. It is equally important to thank the regular donors who, through standing orders and bank transfers, donate £724 per month to the project. - The Reaching Out Steering Committee

On Friday, August 15th at 7pm, there will be Mass and a Torchlight Procession of the Statue of Our Lady to celebrate the great Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at St. Alban’s on the Moors, Cardiff. Mass begins at 7pm and the procession takes place through the streets of Splott immediately following the Mass. All are welcome to attend this devotion.

On Friday, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holyday of Obligation. Mass will be celebrated at 10am at St. Teilo’s and at 6pm at Our Lady of Lourdes. The Mass readings and prayers for the Solemnity of the Assumption are on page 188 of the Parish Mass Book. The Assumption is the oldest feast day of Our Lady but we do not know when it first came to be celebrated. The "Memory of Mary" was celebrated from the fourth century. Later it was to become our feast of the Assumption, having become a great celebration in the churches of the Eastern Roman Empire. In the seventh century, it began to be celebrated in Rome under the title of the "Falling Asleep" ("Dormitio") of the Mother of God. Soon the name was changed to the "Assumption of Mary," since there was more to the feast than her dying. It also proclaimed that she had been taken up, body and soul, into Heaven.

Each Tuesday evening, the parish has an hour of silent Adoration at St. Teilo’s from 7pm to 8pm. The primary intention for the period of Adoration is vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Feel free to come for all or part of the hour to pray for the Church in its need for faithful ministers to continue the Mission of Jesus.
