Trinity Sunday

Webmaster • May 26, 2024

The Church celebrates the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity each year on the Sunday following Pentecost. The Trinity is one of the most fundamental beliefs of the Church and so it is fitting that we dedicate a particular Sunday to that mystery.


Celebrating Trinity Sunday allows the Church to further reflect on the mystery of God after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. This helps us see the connection that if we truly want to understand the Trinity, we need to have the gift of the Holy Spirit. We can never fully understand who God is on our own and desperately need his guidance and inspiration.


The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches:


The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of

Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in Himself. It is

therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light

that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential

teaching in the “hierarchy of the truths of faith.” The whole

history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and

the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy

Spirit, reveals himself to men “and reconciles and unites with

himself those who turn away from sin. (Paragraph 234)


So we gather together today to celebrate the central mystery of God, one and three, eternally united in trinity. May the Holy Trinity dwell in the hearts of each one of us who come to God in faith and draw us ever closer into the mystery of God’s eternal love.

Food run

By Webmaster • May 10, 2025
Parishioners from St. Teilo’s are continuing to collaborate with the team who operate the Night Shelter at St. Mary of the Angels, Canton. In addition to the overnight accommodation, they offer the team now do a food run for the homeless once a month. Unlike the food we collect for families in the area, the needs of the food run are for the kinds of food that are appealing to young, often male, people on the street. Those who benefit from this provision are especially seeking fizzy drinks, chocolate bars, small individual cakes and crisps. If you are able to donate such items for the homeless, please leave them in the box at the back of the Church.

Pope Leo XIV

By Webmaster • May 10, 2025
Please keep our new Holy Father, Pope Leo, in your prayers as he begins his ministry to the Church and the world: O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful, look favourably on Your servant Pope Leo, whom You have set at the head of Your Church as her shepherd. Grant, we pray, that by word and example he may be of service to those over whom he presides so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care, he may come to everlasting life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN. Archbishop Mark issued a statement on the election of the new Pope.
