9 WELSH PROVINCE The area covered by this Directory and Year book comprises Wales and Herefordshire. Since March 1987 the province has contained three dioceses, the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cardiff and the suffragan sees of Menevia and Wrexham. Historical background The area known as the Welsh Province, comprising Wales and Herefordshire, has a long history of Christianity. The martyrdom of SS Alban, Julius and Aaron is the first landmark in our Christian history. It is probable that they were put to death in the persecution of Valeriam 257-9. It is believed Alban was martyred at where is now the City of St Albans and it is believed that Julius and Aaron were citizens of Caerleon and were probably martyred there. We know that at the Council of Arles three British Bishops were present. During these years Christianity made great strides and spread throughout the whole land until the final withdrawal of the Roman Legions in 406. While Eastern Britain eventually became England through the Anglo Saxon invasion, Wales remained steadfastly Christian, which produced many great Christian Leaders, including SS Iltyd, Dyfrig, David and Teilo. In 597 St Augustine was sent by the Pope to begin the conversion of the pagan English. He had two meetings with the British Bishops and Abbots. St Augustine wanted the Welsh Church to amend a number of its local traditions, particularly to keep Easter according to the Roman date. Without doubt, St Augustine handled this badly. The result was an excess of ill-feeling between the English and Welsh Churches which Augustine’,s successor, St Lawence, caused in Ireland and Scotland as well. The dispute lasted until 768 when a young Welsh Bishop called Elfodd persuaded his fellow countrymen to come into line with the Roman Easter date. In the words of the great Welsh historian, Sir John Edward Lloyd, ‘,loyalty of the Welsh to the See of Peter was not in question and Rome found her commands as readily obeyed in Wales as in all other parts of the West.’, The capture and re-organisation of the Welsh ecclesiastical system by the Norman conquerors saw the confirmation of four Welsh dioceses, St. David’,s, Bangor, Llandaff and St. Asaph with the appointment of Bishops in line with the wishes of the Norman overlords. They became accepted, often with some reluctance, by the people of Wales. Extensive foundation of monasteries, in particular by the Cistercians, and later the influence of the Franciscan, Dominican and other Friars, helped the process of pacification and acceptance until the Reformation. Under Henry VIII, Wales became part of the realm of England and the four dioceses part of his autonomous “,Church of England”, of which he proclaimed himself the “,supreme head”,. All the Welsh religious houses were suppressed in 1536 with deep social implications for the people and except for a brief period under Mary the members of the Catholic Church in Wales and England then entered a two hundred year period of deprivation and persecution. Despite early resistance to the changes, the Old Faith barely survived in many parts of Wales. Large numbers of the Catholic gentry faced penury and imprisonment for being recusants - refusing to attend the new services in the parish church. Missionary priests educated abroad were hunted down when they returned and tried to minister to pockets of Catholics in secret houses. Being hung, drawn and quartered was the penalty they faced for being “,massing”, PROVINCE P01-18_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:08 Page 9

10 priests. These policies gradually prevailed and the supply of priests diminished drastically - except in some large estates owned by heroic and influential Catholics, particularly in Monmouthshire. Families like the Vaughans, the Gunters and the Herberts hid and maintained chaplains so that their own families and their workers could attend the celebration of the Mass. Gradually the penal laws against Catholics were eased and in 1829 this culminated in Catholic Emancipation when a great many - but by no means all - of the restrictions on Catholics were swept away. From 1688, despite the danger to the individuals appointed, Rome chose men of piety, integrity, sacrifice and learning to act as vicars apostolic to areas of Britain. Wales and Herefordshire were part of what was known as the Western District This was administered by the following monks and friars whose appointments as vicars apostolic carried the rank of bishop. 1688-1708 Philip Michael Ellis OSB 1715-1 7 5 0 Matthew Prichard OFM 17 5 0-1 7 6 3 Lawrence York OSB 17 6 3-1 7 9 7 Charles Walmsley OSB 1797-1809 W. G. Sharrock OSB 1809-1829 Peter B. Collingridge OFM 1829-1840 Peter Augustine Baines OSB In 1840 the Western District was divided into two. Herefordshire, Monmouthshire and Wales became the Welsh District, with Bishop Brown, OSB as vicar apostolic. Ten years later further changes were made to the Welsh District. In 1850 the diocese of Newport and Menevia was set up as a suffragan see of Westminster diocese, with Bishop Brown in charge. He was followed by Bishop Hedley: 1850-1880 Thomas Joseph Brown OSB 1880-1895 John Cuthbert Hedley OSB Boundaries were changed in 1895, when the diocese of Newport was redefined as comprising the counties of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Hereford. Bishop Hedley was reappointed in 1895 and continued until 1916. Francis Mostyn was vicar apostolic for the rest of the area until 1898 when it was made the diocese of Menevia of which he became the Ordinary. In 1916 the Cardiff Province was established, comprising the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cardiff with the diocese of Menevia as a suffragan see, and the following served as archbishops: 1916-1 9 2 0 James R. Bilsborrow OSB 1920-1939 Francis Mostyn 1940-1961 Michael McGrath 1961-1983 John A. Murphy 1983-2001 John Aloysius Ward OFM Cap. 2001-2010 Peter D. Smith 2 011 - George Stack The Bishops of Menevia from 1898 to 2008 are listed on p.90. When the Province was restructured in 1987, James Hannigan, previously Bishop of Menevia, was translated to the new diocese of Wrexham and Daniel Mullins became bishop for the restructured Menevia diocese.

21 FOREWORD Speaking in London’,s Mansion House at a banquet marking the 40 th anniversary of her accession to the throne, Queen Elizabeth 11 said “,1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an ‘,Annus Horribilis’, –, a terrible year”,. Looking back on the year 2020, we might well echo those words of the Queen. In many ways, it has been a ‘,lost’, year with the dramatic impact of natural disasters. The disastrous storms and flooding at the beginning of the year caused huge damage to the livelihoods of many. The impact of global warming and poor infrastructure in many parts of Wales exposed vulnerability on many levels. Once the flooding receded we were hit by the worldwide coronavirus epidemic reaching into every nation and every home and institution. The levels of infections and deaths have put enormous strains on our health and welfare services. The impact on our young people has yet to be measured, not least having lost virtually half a year of their education. The social isolation endured by individuals for the common good has undoubtedly had implications for the mental health of the nation. Economic recovery still remains precarious and the risk to the livelihoods of so many, not least in terms of unemployment, very real. The Church worldwide, the Archdiocese of Cardiff, our parishes, schools and other institutions have been impacted also. The closure of places of worship has demanded a whole new way of engaging and supporting our people. Providing them with access to prayer and worship not least through the Live Streaming of services has been an endeavour embraced with dedication and imagination by a significant number of parishes. The widespread engagement with technology has opened up new vistas for us in terms of communication and engagement. The gratitude expressed by large numbers of viewers and listeners, many of whom are not regular churchgoers, has been a revelation and presents many new opportunities for preaching the Gospel. Notwithstanding those initiatives, the Church is at heart a communion, a gathering of believers, the Body of Christ personified in the worship of God by all those who are baptised. The gradual re-opening of our churches, initially for prayer and then for public worship, has made huge demands on all concerned. Translating the Guidance of the Bishops Conference of England and Wales into practice together with the legislation of the Welsh Government has been an enormous task. Ensuring that we are conforming to the Health and Safety requirements whilst preserving accessibility to our churches and ensuring the welfare and safety of people who come together for Mass has been challenging. It seems obvious that our common life together will be subject to various restrictions well into 2021. During all this time, parishes throughout the diocese have been active in their outreach to the vulnerable and those who are in need. Shopping for the isolated, delivery of lunches, support of Food Banks, distribution of Food Vouchers, the implementation of the “,Staying Together while Apart”, program have all been CARDIFF p19-50_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:13 Page 21

22 part of our wider ministry during these difficult times. Once again, I wish to place on record our gratitude to the hospital staff and chaplains who have been on the front line in caring for the sick, the dying and the bereaved. Gratitude, also, to the priests and deacons and all who have had to conduct funerals under restricted conditions at these times of particular sensitivity. “,When things get back to normal”, is the phrase on the lips of many people. We realise, of course, that the “,new normal”, will not be the normality which we have taken for granted in recent years. One area in the life of the Church which will present the Catholic community with a radical challenge is the teaching of Religious Education in our schools. The aim of a Catholic school is to educate our children in the knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith. That is why 10% of curriculum time is dedicated to the teaching of R.E. The Welsh Government is intending to replace ‘,traditional’, R.E. with a program called “,Religion, Ethics and Values”,. The aim of the new R.V.E curriculum is that the teaching should be pluralistic in value. According to the consultation, it must be balanced in it’,s content and manner of teaching. Any agreed syllabus for R.V.E. must reflect both religious and non-religious beliefs or philosophical convictions within the meaning of the European Convention on Human Rights. This will include ‘,beliefs’, such as humanism and atheism. The nature and purpose of Catholic education is not to present the life and teaching of Jesus Christ as one among many options or life choices. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As Pope Benedict XV1 wrote: “,Faith is not a set of moral rules but a path to a relationship with God who is love”,. The nature and purpose of the Catholic school is to nurture that relationship of faith and love. In the light of these proposed changes to the curriculum and their implications, the Catholic Church is engaged with Welsh Government at the highest level in arguing for the historic preservation of our right and duty to educate children in “,…,the knowledge and practice of the Catholic Faith”,. The Catholic Education Service has supported the eighty headteachers of all the Catholic schools in Wales in a joint letter to the First Minister. Even though the consultation came to an end in July, we shall scrutinise the Curriculum Bill as it makes it’,s way through the Senedd. A major loss this year has been to the program of “,The God Who Speaks”,. The exploration and celebration of the word of God in the scriptures was gathering a wonderful momentum and engaging many people when the pandemic struck. I am pleased to say that much work is being done to ensure that the program will be re-established in 2021 using all the resources that have already proved so valuable in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Directory of the Catholic Province of Cardiff, Menevia, Wrexham and Herefordshire is, in it’,s own way, a chronicle of that Good News. It records the dedication of all those who live and work in building up the Kingdom of God in this place. In thanking them I give a special word of thanks to the editor, Veronica Clow, for the enormous amount of work that goes into it’,s publication. Hopefully, next year’,s publication will record 2021 as an ‘,Annus Mirabilis’, –, a wonderful year. +George Stack Archbishop of Cardiff CARDIFF p19-50_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:13 Page 22

75 CARDIFF “,Embracing the Lord in order to embrace hope”, - Pope Francis Rev. Daniel J. Stanton If there was one image which summed up the whole of the lockdown period, for me, it must have been seeing the Holy Father imparting his special Urbi et Orbi blessing to an empty St. Peter’,s Square at the end of March, the very start of the lockdown period. That profound moment, captured and shared around the world, says more than words could ever write, and depicts the great paradox of this pandemic - for, in that moment of lockdown, that moment of alone-ness and isolation which I’,m sure we all faced, the Holy Father brought the whole world together, enabling the whole world to experience the “,consoling embrace”, of the Lord. The Holy Father reflects: “,embracing the Lord in order to embrace hope: that is the strength of faith, which frees us from fear and gives us hope”,. As priests, called by the Lord to minister in His vineyard, the global pandemic brought something of a challenge: how could we exercise our ministry fruitfully? In other words, how can we, as priests and religious, enable the Faithful to experience that ‘,consoling embrace’, which the Holy Father spoke of. Ordination to the Priesthood brings about a profound change in the being of the individual. Priesthood is not a function that can be furloughed and switched off, it is who we are, and not what we do. While there may seem to be a gap in our liturgical life, as people were unable to physically attend Mass for a significant amount of time, the rhythm of the Church’,s life and mission continued each and every day through the lockdown period, and beyond. One of the significant challenges was learning how to enable people to participate in the celebration of the Liturgy in a fruitful way. I think for many of us priests this has been one of the biggest learning curves of 2020 - navigating cameras, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and everything in between! I have seen some very moving images of families gathering around iPads and television screens in order to participate in the celebration of Mass. The global pandemic may have brought our economy to a halt, pressed the pause buttons on many of our occupations and hobbies, and even thrown the examination system of our young people into the air, however, there is something profound in the knowledge that the spiritual life of each of us continued, no global pandemic could ever put a halt to this. Indeed, for many people, the global pandemic resulted in a lengthened Lenten season, as one bishop noted, enabling many people the time and the space to be able to take time out and reflect upon things, and how the Lord was prompting us to take stock, re-evaluate our priorities, and so truly listen to His voice speaking directly into our hearts. I found this note, which I had written at the very start of the lockdown: “,In a very real way, we have been stripped of the trappings of the world. We have been given an opportunity to really lean on the breast of the Lord. We have, opened up before us, an opportunity for grace...”, I know from the conversations I have had with people, and from the many confessions I have listened to since the gradual easing of restrictions, that this lockdown has the potential of bringing about a new lease of life in the Holy Spirit for many families, and indeed for the Archdiocese of Cardiff. p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 75

76 A cursory glance back at the Cathedral’,s Instagram page gives a pictorial indication of the journey the Cathedral has made over these last few months. Never did I think that this would be what my first year at the Cathedral would have in store for me. The Instagram images are precious memories of significant moments of the life of the Cathedral, are a prominent reminder that, although the Cathedral may have been physically closed, we were still very much open for business. For me, one of the highlights of the whole time was being able to lead a virtual pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Penrhys. Many people from all over the Archdiocese were able to participate in spending the day with Our Lady. As parish life returns to some sort of normality - the ‘,new normal’,, which commentators speak of, one thing is for sure, and that is that parish life will never return to how things used to be before the pandemic. Canon Peter Collins, writing in his parish newsletter at the end of August reflects: “,The spiritual impact resulting from our deprivations over the past months will be greater than we perhaps realise. Some will have drifted away from us never to return”,. As we continue to embrace the ‘,post lockdown’, era, these stark implications will be something to continually return to and reflect upon by both priests and people alike. The words of the Holy Father from his special Urbi et Orbi blessing will continue to hold true and sustain us: do not let fear paralyse us, rather, continue to embrace the Lord in order to embrace hope.

77 CARDIFF Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul in Wales Caerphilly and Cardiff: 1931 To 2020 It was on 4th December 1931, at the request of Fr. Alfred Winsborough, Parish Priest of St Helen’,s, Caerphilly, that the Daughters of Charity first set foot in Wales. Their house, a former presbytery, was officially opened on 8th December and named ‘,The Immaculate Conception.’, The Sisters began visiting and parish work in the small town of Pwllypant, a short distance from Caerphilly. In 1935, finding that this house was too far away and bus expenses high, they moved into Nantgawr Road, Caerphilly, likewise on 4th December, opened it officially on 8th and remained there until 2001. Throughout these 70 years, various ministries developed, including catechetical work in Bedwas and Trethomas where there was no Catholic school. In 1960, the Sisters’, house was extended to accommodate this work, and the children came each morning before school. When in 1966, Cardinal Newman Comprehensive School opened in Pontypridd, a Sister was appointed to the staff: the first Daughter of Charity to teach in Wales. Other ministries included work with Catholic Social Services in support of travelling people, research into the pastoral care of deaf children and adults in Wales, SVP groups, Sacramental preparation and care of the sacristy. In all, 47 Sisters ministered in Caerphilly between 1931 and 2001. Eventually two Sisters began ministry to deaf people from Marian House in Cardiff, remaining until 1985, when a priest was appointed to St Mary’,s Parish and Chaplain to deaf people. With a third Sister, they continued their ministry in Newport until they relocated back to Cardiff, to a house adapted as a centre for deaf people. The mission to deaf people continued from Marian House until 2001, during which time it was incorporated into the Diocesan Social Services and the centre into the Parish of St Philip Evans in Llanedeyrn, where the Chaplain was the Parish Priest. In 1949, Archbishop Michael McGrath invited the Sisters to take over a former maternity home at 41, Cathedral Road, Cardiff. When no. 43 became available, the Province purchased them both and opened a hostel for young Catholic working women. At one point, women from 11 different countries boarded there and The Universe and Catholic Times of January 1965 described it as ‘,a happy- go-lucky home from home’,, quoting one young woman: “,It is more like a holiday hotel than a hostel”,. From this house, Sisters also ministered amongst the travelling community in and around Cardiff and taught catechism in Abertillery. In 1976, following a major re-assessment of ministries in the Province, and a decline in the number of women living in the hostel, it was decided to close and relocate to Pentwyn Estate. The property was donated to the Archdiocese and is now the Archbishop’,s House and Curial Offices. In Pentwyn, a new development in west Cardiff, there was a primary school and presbytery, but no church, so weekday Mass was celebrated in the Sisters’, house and in the School Hall on Sundays. The Sisters involved in Catholic Social Services continued their ministry from Cathedral Road, while others served in the parish. Later a Sister joined the staff of the primary school. Meanwhile, the mission for deaf people continued to develop when, in 1982, a Sister who was herself deaf, was appointed to direct this service in Wales and South West England. Other ministries included working within Catholic Social Services directing their new Family Centre in Pentwyn and serving as Prison Chaplain to families of prisoners. p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 77

78 In 2001 when the Caerphilly house closed, the Sisters moved to Ely. Here they have cared for the elderly at home and undertaken hospital chaplaincy, parish work, foot care, schoolwork and the development of a Drop-in Centre and Accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers. There have been other communities in Wales, (Ammanford 1991 –, 2004, St David’,s 2001 –, 2011), but this article concentrates on the Sisters’, life and work in Cardiff. Sadly, this chapter ended in September last year. Because of the Coronavirus the Sisters were unable to gather for farewells so they will return in 2021 for an official farewell and thank you for their huge commitment to the Archdiocese of Cardiff. Hospital Chaplaincy The Covid-19 pandemic has presented the NHS with its biggest challenge in its 72 year history. Hospitals across the country had to quickly transform their services and facilities to meet the needs of treating and caring for those infected by this new and deadly virus. While all of us had to adjust to living with lockdown restrictions and social distancing, hospital staff had the extra challenge of compassionately caring for the sick and dying, while trying to shield themselves from infection. In order to care for strangers, some health workers chose to forego their own family lives and stayed in temporary accommodation. Others would return home after working long days in a viral environment, fearing that they would carry the virus home to their young children. Added to these anxieties, the experience of caring for seriously ill colleagues and mourning the deaths of respected doctors, nurses and porters, was a daily reminder how indiscriminate the virus is and the risks hospital staff face in carrying out their vocations. With hospitals closing their doors to visitors, patients experienced the anxiety of having to face their illness without the direct love and support of their family and friends. The infection separated the sick from their loved ones at the very time they most needed their support and, tragically, robbed some of their final days together. For hospital chaplains, as for everyone else, the virus has changed our normal working practices and our invaluable chaplaincy volunteers are no longer free to bring comfort to the needy. However, in the very place where the realities of life and death are faced, daily Mass has been celebrated, God worshipped and Christ’,s Real Presence known. As hospital chaplains we are grateful to have continuing access to all the sick in our care –, particularly those infected by the virus. Through the process of administering the Sacrament of the Sick and offering prayers for those in intensive care units, we have adopted new vestments –, theatre scrubs, gowns and visors. We have come to accept that in our care for infected patients, our pastoral touch has to be made through two layers of latex gloves and our words of Commendation filtered through a respirator after they pass our lips. Yet despite the obvious changes in the environment, the restrictions and the challenges, our core ministry as Catholic chaplains to the hospitals remains unchanged - we are here to communicate God’,s love, grace and mercy to the health workers and to those who are sick in body, mind or spirit. The Sacraments, the Scriptures, the prayers and every loving gesture, are channels CARDIFF p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 78

79 CARDIFF for the Risen Lord to bring healing to our brokenness, light into our darkness and hope into our despair. This was at the heart of our ministry before the Covid-19 pandemic and will continue after its demise. Before the pandemic, a dying dementia patient reminded me of the power of the Blessed Sacrament to heal and to restore. He didn’,t know where he was, what stage of life he was in or what he was suffering from, yet on receiving our Lord’,s body, he spontaneously worshipped God with a hymn and then with tears rolling down his cheeks, looked at me and said “,Thank you for making me feel human again.”, He felt human, not through his encounter with a hospital chaplain, but through his encounter with our Lord, the Great Physician, by whose wounds we are healed and who stands with us in the face of all of life’,s challenges, joys and sorrows. Fr Peter Davies (Cardiff &, Vale University Health Board Chaplain) Llantarnam Abbey in Lockdown Back in March 2020 with the outbreak of Covid- 19, life at Llantarnam Abbey as we knew it began to change radically. Lockdown for us began on the 15th March when our chapel was closed to the public. Quickly other restrictions followed. Signs appeared informing the public and visitors that our grounds and the Abbey itself was closed to visitors. ‘,Wash your hands, stay home, protect the NHS, save lives, keep the social distance’,, became our mantra. We were well and truly in lockdown. We had to be particularly careful with abiding to the restrictions put in place because the Abbey is where we care for our sick sisters. Even though we lost three of our sisters during lockdown none of the deaths was corona virus related. However, sadly covid-19 restrictions utterly changed the way in which we would normally mourn our loved ones. Like everywhere else, funerals took place at the graveside, but we also had a private para-liturgy in the chapel attended by all the community, befitting the life of the deceased sisters. At the Abbey we were very fortunate to have the grounds and space in which to exercise and enjoy the outdoors in safety. Sisters busied themselves making visors and masks to help protect our nurses, carers, and support staff. We also took the opportunity to brush up on out IT skills and took to zooming and other technological means to communicate. In response to the corona virus pandemic so many aspects of our life changed. One of the greatest ones for us was that we could not have daily Mass. However, we soon found alternative ways of celebrating liturgical events such as Holy Week and Easter which were prayerful, meaningful, and enriching. The impact on Ty Croeso Retreat Centre, which is part of Llantarnam Abbey, has been immense. It started 2020 with the usual steady trickle of bookings - typical of the winter months. The first of the 8-day residential preached Retreats, directed by Bishop John Crowley, began in March. Already the rumblings of the p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 79

80 Pandemic were gathering momentum and by departure date lockdown was imminent. The very next day the Centre was closed and hopefully will reopen in 2021. On Mission…, to the UK! By Rev Gareth Leyshon In 2018, Archbishop George kindly gave me permission to leave parish ministry and spend three years working as a full-time member of the Sion Community for Evangelism. The Sion Community, founded in 1984, brings together priests, religious order members and lay Catholics in the work of proclaiming the Gospel: members use music, drama, creative arts and dynamic preaching to share the good news that we are loved by God and saved from the consequences of our sins by Jesus. My ‘,home base’, since January 2019 has been a former convent in Coventry, which Sion Community now uses as a residence and training centre for young people who devote a gap year to the work of mission, or who wish to explore a longer commitment to the community. But I joined the community in the full expectation that I would spend much of my time ‘,on the road’,, preaching week- long missions in parishes and assisting the school mission teams when a priest was needed. Sion Community also runs a residential centre in Brentwood, Essex, where we hold community gatherings for our full-time and part-time (Associate) members and prayerful weekends for men, for women, for family groups and for older children. In the course of 2019 I spent a week in Ireland, helping on a large parish mission with Sion’,s sister organisation across the water, Ceili community, a week on mission in Erskine, near Glasgow, and a week in our own Archdiocese preaching a mission in Merthyr Tydfil. There were relatively few parish missions in the diary when I began, since Sion Community hadn’,t been certain of having a full-time priest until I was released to them. In between, I assisted with a number of primary school retreats across England and helped train the younger missionaries when I was home in Coventry. I think the most enjoyable event of 2019 was a family gathering at our Brentwood based where, challenged to share the story of Joshua and Caleb from the Old Testament, I traded in my priestly robes for a black suit and sunglasses, and appeared as ‘,Agent K’, telling the story of spying with ‘,Agent J’,! There are also special moments on parish missions when, because you are not the people’,s regular priest, they feel able to share deep emotional burdens which they’,ve been carrying for years in the privacy of the Sacrament of Reonciliation. Just as the parish mission diary was due to pick up pace in 2020, the world went into lockdown. Two of our young missionaries at Coventry chose to return to their families, leaving 10 of us committed to share an intense life under one roof together. I developed new skills as a YouTuber and video editor, and preached sermons for a daily Mass broadcast on YouTube for more than 100 continuous days!

In the recent time of national emergency, the new project ‘,Staying Together While Apart’, benefited 25,000 hard-to-reach individuals over 6 months. ‘,Staying Together While Apart’, provided vital support to older/vulnerable members of the community and those with serious underlying health conditions which put them at high risk of illness from Covid-19. In the summer of 2020, the Archdiocese of Cardiff was awarded a grant of £,138,000 to help local communities respond to the COVID-19 crisis from the Voluntary Services Emergency Fund, administered by WCVA and funded by the Welsh Government. The project utilised the Churches’, and parishes’, local network to identify and reach out to those in need, working across 10 local authorities in South Wales, and mobilising around 350 volunteers. The grant was gratefully received and enabled the Archdiocese of Cardiff not only to sustain their vital work amongst the community but also to expand it. Archbishop George Stack said, “,The ‘,Diocesan family’, is a network of familiar individuals and organisations who are the first responders during a crisis. Following the closure of places of worship on the 18th of March 2020, these pastoral care mechanisms were removed from many who are not accustomed to identifying support elsewhere. We are delighted that this grant will allow us to expand the good work already taking place across the Archdiocese serving the wider community at this difficult time.”, The project had two separate over-arching objectives to help those in need. Firstly, it worked to improve the mental health and wellbeing of older and vulnerable members of the community, reducing their feelings of loneliness and isolation. This was achieved by offering reassurance over several digital and traditional media, including by telephone, through social media and YouTube podcasts and also by sending postcards. Regular broadcasts also took place from trusted individuals, known to parishioners and their community, helping bring a sense of belonging as well as positive news and companionship. This provided both personal support but also improved understanding of the wider services available and public health information. Secondly, the project also provided practical support for those isolating as a result of the pandemic. Parish volunteer teams delivered food, care and prescription packages, thereby achieving over 6,500 ‘,shop and drops’, as well as passing onto other relevant providers the details of older and vulnerable members of the community estimated, at enabling a further 6,000 contacts for appropriate support in such uncertain times. Ensuring that older and vulnerable members of the community received everything they need in such uncertain times. This has been a fantastic project that has proved fundamental in providing support across South Wales between June and December 2020. The WCVA stated after awarding the grant, “,We know that the Covid-19 crisis has had a p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 81

82 huge impact on everyone’,s lives, but especially for those who have been shielding. Projects such as ‘,Staying Together While Apart’, are vital in ensuring that those who need to self-isolate are able to do so. We are delighted that funding from the Voluntary Services Emergency Fund will now help The Archdiocese of Cardiff continue their services at this time.”, A huge thank you is needed for those who organised ‘,Staying Together While Apart’,: the WCVA, the Welsh Government and the volunteers that proved invaluable in delivering the objectives of the project. Vocations This year we continue to support our seminarians during their journey towards priesthood, please God, in the coming years. Seminary formation is a long but necessary journey of human, spiritual, pastoral and intellectual growth as well as continued discernment, a discernment which doesn’,t end until ordination, when the Church is assured that an individual is indeed called to to priestly ministry. We are blessed with being able to announce the acceptance of a third seminarian, Gwyn Jones, from Cefn-Hengoed in the Rhymney valley, who will hopefully (COVID permitting) commence his first year of formation at the Royal and Pontifical English College in Valladolid, Spain. This year, known as a Propaeudeutic year, is a now mandatory stage of specialised formation prior to going on to a major seminary, allowing the individual to be immersed in the history of the priesthood in England &, Wales, including our very important martyr tradition. It also provides an experience of a Catholic culture in what is still a traditional part of Spain, in particular the Holy Week celebrations and cultural trips to Avila, the home of St Teresa and St John of the Cross. This is also the end of my first year as vocations director, one that I have found interesting and rewarding. With the help of our schools. parishes and University chaplaincies, I look forward to working further with those in our diocese to build a culture of vocations that regularly produces its own vocations, it is a critical sign of spiritual health for a diocese to raise up its own sons as priests and religious brothers and daughters as religious sisters. Let us keep this firmly in our prayers once again for the next year. Fr Nicholas (4th left) with fellow priests at Christmas Party CARDIFF p51-86_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:30 Page 82

88 FOREWORD The Quantumrun forecasts for 2021 predicts that the population of the world will reach 7,837,028,000. It predicts the end of cables and wireless power in most householdS, the world sales of electric vehicles reaching 7,226,667.The first robot pharmacist will arrive in the USA, and global web traffic is predicted to equal 36 exabytes –, whatever they are! No doubt similar predictions were made for 2020. Nothing could have prepared us for the havoc wreaked by the COVID 19 pandemic. In many ways this has been ‘,lost year’,. As well as the crisis in health care, the seemingly indiscriminate infection has affected over 25 million patients world-wide. It has affected social, political and economic life also. The turmoil in the education of our young people continues to have implications for their future –, and ours. The impact of unemployment, food poverty, mental health and so many other issues continue to de-stabilise daily life as we come to terms with a second lockdown and all that implies. Religious life has been affected also. The gradual re-opening of churches, first for private prayer and latterly for worship, has not been without it’,s challenges and expense in terms of the volunteers needed to staff the controlled access and health and Safety measures. A number of parishes have been innovative in their use of technology and have engaged in the Live Streaming of Mass and other devotions. These have been a source of evangelisation as well as comfort to viewers beyond our normal congregations. The telephone apostolate has been appreciated by many socially isolated individuals, as has the outreach into the community through the delivery of lunches, the distribution of food parcels, MENEVIA p87-138_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:47 Page 88

89 the willingness to collect shopping and prescriptions and the simple neighbourly act of knocking on doors. Although the numbers attending Mass has necessarily been limited owing to the COVID restrictions, there have been moments of joy for the diocese, not least in the ordination to the priesthood of Fr. Robert Davies. This was conducted by Bishop Thomas Matthew Burns who had originally accepted Fr. Robert for the diocese. Our new priest completed his formation beginning with a year at the Royal English College Valladolid followed by the six year preparation program at St. Mary’,s College Oscott. He has been appointed Assistant Priest at St. David’,s Swansea. The day of ordination was marked by another important event in the life of the diocese –, the opening by Bishop Burns of the newly renovated hall opposite St. Joseph’,s Cathedral. The hall is dedicated to the Holy Family and will be a great asset both to the Cathedral family and the wider family of the diocese. It has already created a great deal of interest in the local community. The COVID 19 crisis also caused disruption to some of the plans for the successful ‘,The God Who Speaks’, initiative. Although the regular physical meetings of small groups were not able to take place, Zoom meetings and Videos have enabled contact to be maintained and the program developed and extended into next year when we commence the reading of the Gospel of Mark during the Sunday liturgy. Inevitably, both the diocese and your parishes as well as your homes have been affected by the financial crisis brought about by the pandemic. I would ask for your continued financial support to your church through Planned Giving, Orders, Gift Aid and any other means possible, so that our churches and parishes may face the future in a robust manner when the ‘,new normal’, arrives. Please be assured of my kindest thoughts and prayers and gratitude to all who contribute their time, talent and energy to sustaining and developing the life of the Church in that part of the Lord’,s vineyard which is lovingly known as Menevia. +George Stack Metropolitan Archbishop of Cardiff Apostolic Administrator –, Diocese of Menevia MENEVIA p87-138_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:47 Page 89

131 BISHOP DANIEL MULLINS RIP It was with great sadness that the Diocese of Menevia announced that Bishop Daniel Mullins the 1st Bishop of the newly reconstituted Diocese of Menevia died on 01 November 2019, at the age of 90, in Whitland, Wales. His Funeral Mass was held on 15 November at St Joseph’,s Cathedral, Convent Street, Swansea, the church he himself chose as his Cathedral Church when appointed as Ordinary to this diocese. Bishop Mark Jabalé, preached the homily. Following the service Bishop Mullins was interred in the Cathedral Crypt. Bishop Mullins was born in Kilfinane, County Limerick, on the 10th July 1929. He was the son of Timothy and Mary and brother of Canon Eddie Joe, and the late Bernie, Eileen and Tadhg. He was educated in Mount Mellery, a Cistercian monastery in County Waterford. Once when asked why he came to Wales, Bishop Daniel made this reply: “,it was all because of a nun!”, When planning the future of the Archdiocese of Cardiff, Archbishop McGrath wrote to Sister Bernadette a Sister of Charity of St. Paul the Apostle, and who was headmistress of the convent primary school in Kilfinane, in Ireland. He asked if she knew of any likely young men who might be considering the priesthood. Sr. Bernadette in her turn contacted the mother of one of her past pupils –, and Mrs. Mullins thought of her two sons. They were destined for a foreign mission - Wales. Bishop Mullins remarked that he had never really heard of the place before –, the “,island over there”, was known to them as England, and was not exactly popular with the Irish. However, in responding to Archbishop McGrath’,s request, they discovered a new land. Archbishop McGrath later sent him to St. Mary’,s College in Aberystwyth to study. At Aberystwyth Bishop Mullins met an inspiring teacher who was to become an important influence on him: Saunders Lewis, with whom he began to learn Welsh, which was then an essential part of the curriculum. Bishop Mullins studied for the priesthood at St. Mary’,s College, Oscott in Birmingham and was ordained priest on 12 April 1953. He began his ministry as a curate in Maesteg parish, later serving in many parishes in the Archdiocese. He was soon however to be sent to the University of Wales, Cardiff to study Welsh, and gained a double First-class BA honours degree. He was appointed as Archbishop’,s Secretary and Vicar General. He became an Auxiliary Bishop of Cardiff and Titular Bishop of Sidnacestre on 1 April 1970, a position he held until his appointment as Bishop of the newly restructured Diocese of Menevia in 1987. During his 14 years as Bishop of Menevia, Bishop Mullins gave himself unstintingly to the development of the new Diocese, bringing large numbers of lay MENEVIA p87-138_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:47 Page 131

13 2 representatives, Religious and Clergy from all parts of the Diocese together on several occasions for Training. The first such Conference was held in the University of Swansea in September 1988 over a period of two days. This was followed by a 4 day Conference in Lampeter in July 1989 on the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. A further 4 day Conference was held at Lampeter in September in 1992 on the Liturgy. Around 200 representatives attended each Conference. Although suffering from ill health in the latter years, Bishop Mullins brought to fruition an inspiration he had during the Ad Limina visit of 1997, that of having a Diocesan Synod, which he described as a Pilgrimage to the Heart of the Gospel. This was held at Lampeter in September 2000. Over two years he painstakingly prepared the faithful for this especially through the Synod Sundays where he issued thoughts for reflection on various aspects of Church Teaching on a monthly basis. Another of his initiatives during his Episcopate were the Saturday Lenten Talks at St David’,s, Swansea on various aspects of Church teaching. Among his proudest achievements was the role he played in the foundation of the Cistercian Sisters Monastery in Whitland, very conscious of the role the Order played in Pre-Reformation Welsh History. As Bishop Mark noted in his funeral oration, at a time when Bishop Mullins was busiest, he was diagnosed with cancer, and suffered greatly under treatment, nevertheless he remained serene and continued with apparent undiminished energy. Having been consecrated a bishop in 1970, he was in fact the longest serving bishop in England and Wales. He retired to Kidwelly, and eventually moved to Waungron residential Home, very near to Whitland Abbey, where the staff cared very lovingly for him. Bishop Mullins had a formidable intellect, but was a humble man, and this humanity was often hidden from view. Certainly, he was a man of many parts: a true son of Ireland, of its language and culture. Equally he was a passionate supporter of the language and culture of Wales. In many respects he represented the bond between these two Celtic nations. With his fluency in the Welsh language Bishop Mullins did much to weave the thread of Catholicism into the fabric of Welsh life endearing himself in a special way to the Welsh speaking community. His knowledge and love of the Welsh language and history were such that he was elected a Bard of the Welsh Gorsedd. He, in conjunction with the Carmelite, Father John Fitzgerald and others produced a Welsh translation of the Roman Missal. A wonderful tribute to Bishop Mullins was made, on Twitter, a medium he knew little about, by Hugh Edwards, the Newsreader and commentator and a fellow Bard: it reads, “,One of the most impressive figures I ever met, Bishop Daniel Mullins was a man of exceptional integrity, intelligence and humility. He made a great contribution to Wales and to the Christian tradition. Coffa arbennig o dda amdano.”, Grant, we pray, almighty God, that the soul of your departed servant Bishop Daniel Mullins, to whom you committed care of your family, may, with the manifold fruit of his labours, enter into the eternal gladness of his Lord. who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever.

13 3 REV. CANON EDMUND (EDDIE) MULLINS RIP Canon Mullins died on Wednesday 27th November 2019 aged 95 years, a few weeks after the death of his brother Bishop Daniel Mullins. His Requiem Mass took place on Monday 9th December 2019 at Holy Name Church, Vergam Terrace, Fishguard, and was followed by Cremation at Narberth Crematorium, Parc Gwyn, Narberth. Born in Kilfinane in County Limerick on 28th November 1924, Canon Eddie was ordained priest for the Archdiocese of Cardiff on 28th May 1950. His first impressions of Wales were of St. David’,s Cathedral in Cardiff, and his first parish, which was the docks area around Tiger Bay. From 1953 he worked in the Archdiocesan finance office until he became parish priest of Briton Ferry in April 1963, where he had to prepare for the building of the present church. In 1977 Canon Mullins was appointed Parish Priest of St. Joseph’,s Port Talbot and brought with him a wealth of social and spiritual activities to the parish. He formed a parish choir, many catechetical groups and his priority was ensuring that the sick people of the parish were visited pastorally and spiritually. In 1987 with the establishment of the Diocese of Menevia, Canon Eddie remained at St. Joseph’,s. Then in 1989 he moved to Holy Name, Fishguard where he served out his active ministry until his retirement. In 1977 he was invited to membership of the ‘,Old Brotherhood of England and Wales’,, an institution which has existed since penal days to administer the affairs of the Church in these countries while Bishops could not be appointed. It ceased to have an administrative function on the restoration of the Hierarch in 1850, and now exists to meet socially twice a year and to administer some small funds which still survive. Canon Mullins was an ardent music lover and a gifted instrumentalist who was never happier than when involved in singing. He was also a keen golfer and a very successful member of the golfing clergy. He was part of a team of six priests who won the national competition: the prize was a free trip to Rome! For more than 30 years Canon Mullins was the Director of the Welsh National Pilgrimage to Lourdes. In recognition of his long and exceptional service Canon was honoured by being made a Canon of Lourdes. May he rest in peace MENEVIA p87-138_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:47 Page 133

13 4 FATHER PETER KELLY RIP Fr. Peter Kelly died peacefully, on Thursday 5th December 2019 at the Old Vicarage Nursing Home the day before his 98th birthday. His remains were received into St. Joachim and St. Anne R.C. Church, Dunvant on Monday 6th January 2020. His Requiem Mass took place on Tuesday 7th January followed by cremation at Swansea Crematorium. Fr. Kelly’,s journey to the priesthood is fascinating and he enjoyed telling it. Born in Roscommon, Ireland, Father Kelly went to France to study for the priesthood in 1940 and was there when the Germans invaded during World War Two. During the occupation people were required to register their identity, but after his application was turned down he was left without the required papers. On one occasion he was just one railway carriage away from discovery by the Nazi SS when they stopped and searched a train leaving Lourdes. Father Kelly later travelled to Palestine to finish his studies, but on a journey to Jerusalem to be ordained as a priest he was among a group held at gunpoint by British troops during a curfew. They were allowed to continue but, as their taxi driver had fled in panic, had to carry on on foot, risking their lives through the night in an area where soldiers were ordered to shoot on sight. He was eventually ordained just after dawn. Father Kelly first came to Wales in 1956 and ministered in Swansea, Ferndale, Port Talbot and Cardiff before becoming the first parish priest at St Joachim and St Anne’,s Church in Dunvant. He is remembered with great affection for his work as a hospital chaplain. Fr. Kelly originally took up the role at Swansea’,s Singleton Hospital on a temporary basis in 1964 but he never stopped going. He offered spiritual care twice a day until his retirement 46 years later. He was inspired by the staff and said of them “,seeing them coming in every day to look after people who needed their help and to think of them rather than themselves has always been an example to me…,they are dedicated to helping others live as happily as they can.”, May he rest in peace.

13 5 BR MICHAEL STRODE, RIP The founder of HCPT, and a monk of Caldey, Brother Michael Strode died on, Friday 27th December at the age of 96. Doctor Michael Strode, or Brother Michael as he was called after he became a Cistercian monk in later life, was born in Woking, Surrey, on 5th June 1923. He trained to be a doctor at St Thomas`s Medical School, London, qualifying in 1946. In September 1945 he was received into to Catholic Church. Michael began his National Service in 1947 serving as a Surgeon Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Towards the end of his service he contract tuberculosis and was hospitalised until 1950. After his recovery Dr Strode served in several hospitals before he joined the Chailey Heritage foundation for children with disabilities in 1953. He worked at Chailey until his retirement in December 1988. Michael made his first pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1951, travelling with the Birmingham diocesan pilgrimage. In 1956 HCPT was founded and the first Trust pilgrimage took place in 1957. Michael was unable to take part because he suffered a recurrence of TB that year. This was soon overcome, and he was able to accompany the HCPT pilgrimage in the Lourdes centenary year of 1958. Michael suffered a few health problems, but played a full part in the HCPT as Chief Medical Officer (until 1 990) and as a Governor of the Trust. In 1975 he was awarded the KSG at the opening of Hosanna House. The last year in which he participated as a doctor with HCPT was in 1990. In October 1991 Michael entered a Cistercian community as an Oblate. He took simple vows on 4th June 1995 and made his final commitment as an Oblate on 7th June 1998. Since 2016 he has lived in a care home in Cardiff. Until the end of his life Michael played a very active role in the running of HCPT. He last travelled to Lourdes to join the 2013 Easter pilgrimage, during which he was awarded the prestigious Mé,daille Notre-Dame de Lourdes in recognition of his long dedication to pilgrims and pilgrimages to the Shrine. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him, May he rest in peace. Amen.

137 CONVENT CLOSURE FOLLOWS EMOTIONAL FAREWELL Last February a packed St Michael’,s Church, Brecon shared an emotional farewell Mass in honour of Sister Finnian Carr who was leaving Brecon after 40 years of dedicated service to the Brecon Parish and community following the closure of St David’,s Ursuline Convent. Representatives from other Christian denominations in the town together with local authority representatives and former Convent pupils and teachers joined the celebration to say an earnest “,thank you”,. In addition to teaching at the Convent over several decades, Sr Finnan had acted as Parish Sister supporting many Priests, and the Catholic community both in their journey of faith and with personal support whenever needed. She has also sent aid for the poor overseas for very many years in the form of knitted blankets and goods with the aid of many dedicated helpers. Three Priests concelebrated the Mass including Parish Priest, Fr Jimmy Sebastian, former Parish Priest Msgr Canon Clyde Hughes Johnson and Fr Matthew Roche-Saunders whose family live in Brecon. All spoke warmly and emotionally of their long relationships with Sr Finnian and the Ursuline community describing the extent of her dedication which would be sadly missed in the future. Following a presentation of framed aerial photographs of the town and Church Sr Finnian spoke about her love of Brecon and its various communities who had taken her to their hearts since 1979. Whilst in Thurles, Ireland she would return to many old friends who had also served at Brecon Convent, she said that her memories of friendships made over many years in the town would always be cherished. The Irish branch of the Ursuline Sisters had recently celebrated a 70 year Ministry in Wales. In Brecon this had involved St David’,s Convent School (1948-93), and St Joseph’,s Primary School which was located in Llanfaes in 1976 with the Sisters serving as teachers and Headteachers. Sister Finnian Carr says “,thank you and goodbye”,. Msgr Canon Clyde HughesJohnson (left) and Parish Priest Fr Jimmy Sebastian looking on.

13 8 ORDINATION OF THE REV’,D ROBERT DAVIES On Saturday 5th September 2020, in the presence of clergy and laity from around the diocese and elsewhere, The Rt Rev’,d Thomas Matthew Burns, Bishop Emeritus of Menevia ordained Robert Davies to the priesthood in a ceremony at St Joseph’,s Cathedral, Swansea. Robert is originally from the parish of St Joseph’,s Port Talbot. He studied for the priesthood at the Royal English College, Valladolid and St Mary’,s College, Oscott and the latter was represented by The Rev’,d Giles Goward and members of the formation staff who joined The Rev’,d Mgr Joseph Cefai in assisting Bishop Burns during the ordination rite. Members of Robert’,s family, parishioners of his home parish of St Joseph’,s, Port Talbot and from parishes around the diocese, and many members of the clergy were present at the Mass. Despite the restrictions imposed by the current COVID crisis, the ordination was a joyful and prayerful gathering, followed by the blessing of the Holy Family Hall and a socially distanced Garden Party. Robert said, “,It was humbling to be joined by so many people who wanted to pray for me and celebrate with me as I was ordained priest and I would like to thank them all for their magnificent support. I would also like to thank Bishop Burns for presiding over the liturgy and for his constant support during my formation. Finally, I would like to thank Canon Benedict Koledoye and all those who worked so hard to make the ordination a success.”, Robert has been appointed assistant priest at St David’,s Swansea. In addition to his parochial duties, he will help to develop a city wide RCIA program centred at the church and be part of “,The God Who Speaks”, program in association with Fr. Jerome Ituah. It is being re-established in its new form given the pandemic restrictions. Please remember Fr Robert in your prayers as he takes on his new ministries. ‘,©, Lewis Mitchell MENEVIA p87-138_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 14:47 Page 138

Foreword Never before have the plans, intentions or de - sires proposed at the beginning of a year been so decimated as this as with less than one fifth of it having passed, our town, communities and parishes are put into lockdown and at that time for a completely unknown and indefinite period. Ten weeks of the year passed, and then some ten weeks later the beginnings of an opening up, but with only something like one tenth of our previous church-capacity being made available for use. At the time of writing still ten of the Dio - cese’,s churches are not open for prayer or wor - ship. That may be interpreted as a picture of gloom. On the other hand we have seen many parishes be innovative about their life with the live- streaming of liturgies, devotions, lectio divina, shared prayer, bible study some of which had touched peoples’, lives that our weekly gatherings on the Lord’,s Day had not. It is now that we must build upon that renewed interest in our church and our faith. It was the comedian Frank Skinner who said of the Catholic Church that, “,The magic of it is what draws me in. I like the strangeness.”, Adding, “,I think doubt is as important as faith to a believer, I worry about people that don’,t have a doubt about anything, they’,re the scary people.”, Despite all we have had to endure in terms of restrictions and isolating, or suffer due to ill-health, anxiety or grief, being on furlough, not having the right ac - knowledgement of effort and work in exam results and disrupted plans for future edu - cation or employment, or whatever, there has been much to celebrate and remember with fondness. In September it was my joy to be able to ordain David Gozzard and Matthew Bond to the Deaconate- one of the first celebrations of public Mass in the Cathedral since mid- March. Muted as these celebrations have had to be, the tenth anniversary of the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to these shores, the sixteen hundredth anniversary of the death of S.Jerome and the tenth anniversary of Verbum Domini which gave rise to the ‘,God who Speaks’, project for 2020, not forgetting the 400th anniversary of the first full trans - lation of the Bible into Welsh due to the work of Bp. William Morgan, the Fiftieth Anni - versary of the canonisation of the Forty Martyr Saints of Wales and England. It should always be a matter of pride for the lay faithful that the first of the Welsh martyrs of recu - sant times was the layman, Richard Gwyn, husband, father, schoolmaster who was hanged, drawn and quartered in Wrexham in 1584. The other connected with the ter - ritory of the Diocese being the Benedictine priest John Roberts (H.D.Q. Tyburn, London 1610) from Trawsfynnedd. To be celebrated too is the teaching and support given to us and the whole Church by P. Francis. In January we celebrated for the first time the Sunday of the Word of God, given to the Church and added to the calendar in the Holy Father’,s Apostolic Letter (September 2019) Aperuit Illis –,“,He opened their minds”, (Luke 24:45). On this Sunday throughout the Diocese individuals and families brought their bibles to Mass and re - ceived a blessing upon their commitment to seek to read and meditate on the Word of God more and more, day by day. Early in February we were given his Post Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonia –, To the Beloved Amazon region- which was a message for the whole world of the importance of integral ecology and that the future of, the fate of and success of the Amazon region is a concern for us all for upon it much of the life of the world depends, as well as it being such a huge and significant 14 0 WREXHAM p139-184_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:49 Page 140

141 repository of earth’,s flora and fauna. The autumn marked two more documents from P.Francis: the first was the Apostolic Letter -Devotion to Holy Scripture- Scripturae Sac - rae Affectus marking the anniversary of the death of S. Jerome. This short and beautiful letter speaks of the place of the bible in the life of Jerome and the immeasurable in - fluence that has had upon the church in the sixteen hundred years to to-day and still for years to come. On the feast of St Francis, Pope Francis gave to the Church and the World the encyclical Fratelli tutti -Brothers and Sisters All. Faced with those injured by the shadows of a closed world and still lying by the roadside (cf. Luke 10:25ff), we are invited by Pope Francis to make our own the world’,s desire for fraternity, starting with the recognition that we are “,Fratelli tutti”,, brothers and sisters all, and confidently in - voking the intercession of the poor man of Assisi to help, the Holy Father seeks to moti - vate everyone toward that much desired fraternity. If this wasn’,t all enough to get our hearts and minds around, in March the Pontifical Council for promoting New Evangelisation produced the ‘,Directory for Catechesis’,. The Directory reflects the most up-to-date expertise on the necessary elements of teaching and personal formation for catechetical work. As if to build on this in July the Congre - gation for the Clergy gave the most useful document ‘,The Pastoral Conversion of the Parish community in the service of the evangelising mission of the Church’,, a toolbox for pastors and people to go forward together under the guidance of the Holy spirit to achieve the Church’,s mission. Both of these documents have the substantive underly - ing theme of the church that is evangelised and is evangelising, i.e. has the Word of God as its foundation. As the Martyrs of Wales and England are a witness to living and proclaiming the Gospel in difficult times, the Church’,s teaching proclaimed in 2020 in these documents is an expression of the same faith being proclaimed now in the circumstances of our own times with their difficulties and challenges. The months of restriction and lockdown have been for the Church an opportunity to refresh ourselves in the faith we proclaim as well as to discover new ways of living and proclaim the Gospel. I am immensely grateful to all who have helped to bring the Gospel –, its message of faith and hope, our liturgy and worship, and its meaning in action and care- digitally to peoples of our parishes under the restrictions imposed by coronavirus. So many of us have learnt of the opportunities that ‘,on-line’, has afforded and new skills to use those opportunities that at best are occasions of being able to communicate with each other and the world, but are no substitute for gathering as the body of Christ and the unity that that gathering provides and witnesses to our being church. As ever I am most grateful to all who have contributed to the compilation of this year’,s Directory and Yearbook especially in the difficult circumstances of restricted movement and access to churches that COVID-19 has created. Particular thanks go to the Curial staff who strive tirelessly to serve the Diocese and maintain the usefulness of this Prov - incial publication in print as well as to those who populate and monitor the digital face of the Diocese. In conjunction with the Diocesan website which grows as a source of up-to-date information and inspiration by the day, together -Yearbook and website- be - come more and more an arm of the Diocese’,s commitment to evangelisation. No pub - lication, no technology can do more than we ourselves in reading, re-reading and reading again the Gospels, living what we have learnt and sharing by proclamation with joy what we believe. I continue to pray for you, your families and our communities that 2021 be a year of peace, joy and blessing and I look forward to seeing you -as soon as the coronavirus restrictions permit- in your parishes and at all our Diocesan events to which you are of course entitled to attend without further invitation.

They came directly under the Bishop of the Diocese and are completely dedicated to a life of perpetual Virginity. Pope John Paul II writes of the ancient Order of Virgins, known to Christian Communities ever since Apostolic times. These women acquire a particular link with the Church, which they are committed to serve.’, Canon 604 of the new Canon Law states ‘,Through their pledge to follow Christ more closely, virgins are consecrated to God, mystically espoused to Christ and dedicated to the service of the Church when the Diocesan Bishop consecrates them according to the approved liturgical Rite.’, In Wrexham Diocese Sr Joy Elder, Conwy Sr Judith Harvey, Wrexham Sr. Jennifer McGlade, Llandudno SECULAR INSTITUTES It was the Papal Document ‘,Provide Mater’, which opened up the possibility of this form of Consecrated life in the second half of the 20th Century. It is designed to develop a specific type of apostolic presence in modern society. Men and women who belong to these Institutes are dedicated by vow or promise whilst living normal, secular lives. Their commitment is sometimes quite hidden. Their charism is their consecrated secularity. CANONICAL HERMITS These come under Canon 603 of the new Canon Law. These individuals, men or women, are vowed to follow a fully eremitical way of life when they are approved of and blessed by the Bishop. They are dedicated to complete solitude, asceticism and continual prayer. Fasting, celibacy, poverty, silence and work are an integral part of this radical form of Hermit life.

17 9 The Legend of St. Winefride Winefride (Genfrewi) was the daughter of a local prince named Tewyth and his wife Gwenlo. Her uncle was St. Beuno.One day, around the year 630, Caradoc, a chieftain from Hawarden attempted to seduce Winefride. She ran from him towards the church which had been built by her uncle. Caradoc pursued her and cut off her head. In the place where her head fell, a spring of water came up. St. Beuno came out from the church, took up her head and placed it back on her body. He then prayed and raised her to life. A white scar encircled her neck, witness to her martyrdom. Caradoc sank to the ground and was never seen again. Winefride became a nun and, after her uncle’,s departure from Holywell for the Monastery of Clynnog Fawr, joined a community at Gwtherin where she became the Abbess. She died there some 22 years later. Pilgrimage to St. Winefride’,s Well has taken place throughout the 1,300 years since St. Winefride was restored to life. It is of great historic significance that the Crypt was not destroyed during the reformation of the middle ages and that pilgrims continued to come despite the threat of persecution which existed for those practising the catholic faith. Prayer Service and Veneration of St. Winefride’,s Relic From Pentecost Sunday until the end of September. a prayer service and veneration of St. Winefride’,s Relic takes place daily at 12 noon on weekdays and 2.30pm on Sundays (unless otherwise advertised). The service, which lasts around 15 minutes, is led by a Priest or Lay Minister. This service is a tradition which dates back over 120 years. All Pilgrims and Visitors are invited to join in the service. The relic of St. Winefride is a small fragment of her finger bone. In 1138, her remains were moved from North Wales Shrewsbury. During the reformation her remains were destroyed, however a small fragment of a finger bone survived. Part of the relic is held at WREXHAM p139-184_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:49 Page 179

181 WREXHAM Ordination to the Transitional and Permanent Deaconate of Matthew Bond and David Gozzard On Saturday 5th September, Bishop Peter ordained Matthew Bond to the transitional Diaconate and David Gozzard to the order of Permanent Deacon at St Marys Cathedral Wrexham in the presence of the ordinand’,s family and friends. The congregation was limited to a strict number of people to comply with the current Covid regulations, but the Ordination was live streamed on the Diocesan website and You tube channel which was viewed and celebrated by many parishioners throughout the Diocese. The ordination Mass was beautiful and a symbol of great hope in the life of the Church. Matthew is currently studying at the Beda College in Rome. His ordination to the transitional diaconate marks his final year of preparation for his ordination to the priesthood. David, a retired Doctor of public health, like many other health care professionals has recently come out of retirement to assist the NHS with the Covid 19 Pandemic.

18 3 WREXHAM Matters Musical The usual pattern of rehearsals and gatherings has taken a surprising turn of direction! None of us would have thought a few months ago that the choir would come together virtually. Most of us would not even have thought it possible, but here we are, working and learning online . Although it’,s not the same as being together in person we’,ve made the most of it, and have actually rehearsed more whilst in lockdown than in ‘,normal’, times. Some members have even recorded music in isolation, a selection is to be found on the Diocesan Website. We thank God for the technology available to us and for the determination and skill of our singers and musicians to find a way around these challenges. A ‘,new normal’, for the choir may be to continue learning music online ahead of ‘,physical’, rehearsals - a novel solution to getting people together from around a large and mainly rural Diocese. Good for the environment, too! p139-184_Welsh_2021.qxp_Layout 1 29/10/2020 11:49 Page 183
