‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you’.
These are the words that are heard ‘spoken from heaven’ in the Gospel for today, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
In these difficult times, when we may have reason to be down-hearted, let’s all remember that through our own Baptism, these words should also echo in our own hearts and lives.
Find a quiet moment to hear the voice of the Father speaking to you, too ‘You are my child, the Beloved; my favour rests on you’.

Dear parishioners and friends of our 3 Churches,
After listening to many people, especially those involved in keeping us safe, and taking everything into account, I have decided to suspend all public liturgies in our 3 churches from after this Sunday (3 January 2021) until further notice, except funerals.
We will live stream from St Brigid’s as much as possible – every day this week except Friday. New Year is a time for looking forward and in a spirit of hope. Though this was a reluctant decision, I believe it is a good and hopeful one, as the safety of all of us is so important. SO – a happy New Year – and a safe one!
Fr Matthew

Dear parishioners and friends of our 3 Churches,
Gaudete! Rejoice! It may seem that we have little to rejoice about this year. But what could be more joy- bringing than the birthday of Jesus, the Son of God? As if to underline the joyful feast that beckons us, today we have our own local cause for celebration – the ordination as a deacon of our own Christian Mahoney. We congratulate him, his wife Esther, and daughters Alessia and Daniela, and seek the Lord’s blessings on his future ministry. You can be part of the celebration by watching the ordination at the Cathedral at 4pm via the internet. Visit the cathedral website www.cardiffcathedral.org.uk and scroll down to the live-stream. Gaudete! Rejoice!
Fr Matthew
