9 PROVINCE 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”, p01-18_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:32 Page 9

10 PROVINCE 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 1715-1750 Matthew Prichard OFM 1750-1763 Lawrence York OSB 1763-1797 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: 1916-19 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 2011 -2022 George Stack 2022- Mark O’,Toole The Bishops of Menevia from 1898 to 2008 are listed at the beginning of Menevia section. 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. p01-18_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:32 Page 10

21 CARDIFF FOREWORD The Church is always on mission! In the words of Pope St. Paul VI, she “,exists to evangelize”,. On the following pages you will find a snapshot of that mission being lived out in a particular place –, the Dioceses of Cardiff and Menevia –, and at a particular time in history –, the year 2023. This particular place and time in which we are living have their own peculiarities. We are transitioning further out of the COVID pandemic –, adapting to a ‘,new normal’,. Despite the great struggles and sufferings that the pandemic caused, which we cannot deny, we are now called to embrace and develop the opportunities that it brought: the progress made in digital ministry and outreach, a realisation of the need to support each other and truly live as brothers and sisters, the number of people who began to seek God in the midst of great uncertainty. All of these things must be part of the way we move forward as a Catholic community. We are also in the midst of the Synodal process, begun in 2021, through which the Holy Father has invited us to open ourselves more to the Holy Spirit and to renew our commitment to walking together on the path to God, focussing on three areas: communion, participation and mission. Wonderful work has been done in parishes in response to the Synod. Our own diocesan reports showed a great hunger in the people of Cardiff and Menevia for the Faith: for catechetical formation and greater opportunities for developing parishioners’, spiritual lives. They revealed a renewed commitment of the Church to young people, and a desire for our youth to be more involved in the life of the Church. Concern for the needy and reaching out to those on the margins was also expressed. This all showed a great yearning to go deeper into the practice of our faith, both as individuals and as Christ’,s Body in the world. Along with these two phenomena, we find ourselves in what many describe as a ‘,post-Christian’, and increasingly secular society, swimming against the tide in so many ways. Christianity is no longer the dominant influence in our lands, but simply one influence among others. In this sense, we are living in an age more comparable to the Apostolic Age –, the time of the early Church. We cannot, therefore, continue living as though we were in ‘,Christendom’,, when everyone knew and accepted the basic tenets of Christian belief. We must find new, creative ways of working and bringing the Good News to the society in which we live. Our strength is found, however, precisely in this message and in the Person of Jesus Christ who we proclaim through the power of the Holy Spirit. We must concentrate efforts and resources on apostolic activities and initiatives. We are also living in a time of transition for our two Dioceses specifically. In June, Archbishop George Stack retired as Archbishop of Cardiff and Apostolic Administrator of Menevia. I became Bishop of both Dioceses, now united in persona Episcopi. I thank both Archbishop George and Bishop Tom Burns for their tremendous work in steering our Dioceses over the past few years. I ask you to pray for me as I take up this new, and by no means small, task, realising every day the necessity of relying on God’,s grace in order to do so. Over the next few months I will be spending time going around the different parts of the Dioceses, visiting the priests and parishes, which I look forward to very much. p19-66_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 07/11/2022 08:42 Page 21

22 CARDIFF The call to working together synodally and to being ever more attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit is part of the greater call to holiness that we are all given, in whatever situation or state of life we find ourselves. This past year we were reminded of the great witness of the saints, who inspire and support us in this call, as we welcomed the relics of three saints to our Dioceses: St. Philip Evans, St. John Lloyd and St. Bernadette. Saints Philip Evans and John Lloyd were two ‘,of our own’, –, Welshmen martyred in Cardiff during the Reformation for the ‘,crime’, of ministering as Catholic priests. St. Bernadette, of course, was the recipient of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes in the 19th century, who subsequently gave her life to prayer and living out the message she had received from Mary. They remind us of our own call to holiness in the circumstances of our own lives. It is always a great joy for a bishop to ordain new priests and deacons for service in the mission of a diocese. This past year, I was privileged, shortly after my installation, to ordain Fr. Elliot Hanson to the Priesthood for ministry in Cardiff, and to be present at the ordination of Rev. Gregory Beckett to the Diaconate for service in Menevia. Fr. Elliot will serve in the parishes of Newport, while Deacon Gregory returns for his final year in seminary, as he looks forward to ordination to the Priesthood, God-willing, next summer. Please keep them both in your prayers as they begin their ministry within the mission of our Dioceses, and please pray for those seminarians in formation from our Dioceses, and that the Lord may bless us with more priestly vocations. I recently attended the Third International Congress of Catechists in Rome. On one of the days, the Holy Father addressed us, and urged us to “,never forget the purpose of catechesis: that of meeting Jesus Christ and allowing him to grow in us.”, This is true for everything that we do. Therefore, the snapshot of the mission in our Dioceses in 2023 that the following pages provides must be directed to one thing, one Person: Jesus Christ and an encounter with Him. That is the mission we are called to: to grow in our own relationship of love with the Lord, and to show others the beauty of such a relationship. All of the information on these pages is futile if it does not point to Him. Please pray for me, and I assure you of my prayers, that this year, we all may continue to deepen our love for Jesus Christ. +Mark O’,Toole Archbishop of Cardiff Bishop of Menevia p19-66_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 07/11/2022 08:42 Page 22

75 CARDIFF ORDINATION REV ELLIOT HANSON Fr Elliot was ordained by Archbishop Mark O’,Toole at St David’,s Cathedral, Cardiff on 16 July 2022. Fr Elliot was born in Barry and came from an Evangelical background to the Catholic Church from his time in St David’,s Catholic College, Cardiff and a visit to Lourdes. While a student in Southampton University, he became a member of the Catholic Society and began to consider a vocation to the Priesthood. He has been appointed Assistant Priest to All Saints Parish, Newport. GOLDEN JUBILEE AND RETIREMENT OF ARCHBISHOP G EORGE STACK In June, Archbishop George celebrated 50 years as a Priest. His Mass of thanksgiving was at St David’,s Cathedral, Cardiff and during his homily he reflected ‘,that the privilege of a priest is to call people to worship not just in words but in action too’,. He gave thanks for his time In Wales. He said ‘,I am pleased and grateful that in this next phase of my life I am going where I want to go whilst remaining in this part of Wales which is very close to my heart’,. Archbishop George thanked religious, laity and clergy for the support he has received in the past 11 years as Archbishop of Cardiff and, latterly, as Apostolic Administrator of Menevia. As a token and expression of his thanks to the archdiocese, he gifted the chalice, designed by him and given to him by his family on his ordination, to the treasury at St David’,s Cathedral. We thank Archbishop George and wish him Ad multos annos. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:04 Page 75

77 CARDIFF RT REV PETER COLLINS As we were about to print, news was received that Rev Canon Peter Collins, Parish Priest of St Mary’,s Parish and Holy Family, Cardiff, was appointed Bishop Elect of East Anglia. On hearing of the appointment Canon Peter said: “,As I emerge from the shock of hearing that the Holy Father has appointed me to the Diocese of East Anglia, it is with sincere humility, deep trust and great hope that I look to the future. As I prepare to leave the Archdiocese of Cardiff, I give thanks to Almighty God for all I have received from the community of faith that has nurtured me throughout my life. I wish to thank Archbishop Mark and Archbishop George for their consistent and enduring support …, As I leave the mountains and valleys of the West for the expansive plains of the East, I realise that my horizons will change and that I have much to learn. Trusting in God’,s grace and mercy and obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, let us discern together the pathway that awaits us and recognise that the Gospel is forever new and that the Church remains forever young.”, Archbishop Mark offered these words at the news: “,In Bishop-elect Peter, the Diocese of East Anglia receives a good and holy pastor. We are sorry to see him leave Cardiff, but he goes with our prayers, love and support. I am sure that he will be warmly welcomed, all will quickly take him to their hearts, as they come to appreciate his many generous qualities and gifts. May the Lord richly bless him, and through him, all in the Diocese, in this his new mission.”, Canon Peter was installed as Bishop of East Anglia at Norwich Cathedral on 14th December. He will be very much missed but we wish him well and assure him of our prayers. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:04 Page 77

78 CARDIFF REV CHRISTOPHER DELANEY RIP 1932-2022 Fr Delaney, who was born on 26 September 1932, was a Benedictine Monk at Buckfast Abbey, Devon. He joined the Benedictine Community at St Mary’,s, Cardiff and in 1967 became Chaplain to Bishop Hannon School and subsequently to Mary Immaculate High School. Fr Dil, as he was affectionally known, was a well- known, much loved and respected Priest in Cardiff and was usually seen on his bicycle with his mascot teddy bear. He was always ready to ‘,chat’, to people at any time and was a great support to hundreds of children over his 43 years as school chaplain. He has been descried as a humble man, a man of the people, a worker Priest, and a spiritual man. Fr Chris loved cycling and frequently took schoolchildren on trips to Lourdes and Switzerland. He cycled from Lands End to John O’,Groats 3 times. He was a Priest who walked with you, never behind you or in front of you –, he had kindness, compassion and understanding. He helped the downtrodden, the lonely and the homeless. He touched the lives of thousands over the years. He was recalled to Buckfast Abbey in 2011 but eventually he needed care and returned to his beloved Cardiff to reside at Nazareth House, where he died on 8 May 2022. May he rest in peace. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:04 Page 78

88 CARDIFF NEW ARCHBISHOP 0F CARDIFF AND BISHOP OF MEN EVIA Pope Francis appointed Bishop Mark O’,Toole as Archbishop of Cardiff and Bishop of Menevia. Mark O’,Toole was Bishop of Plymouth since his appointment in 2013. Previously he was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Westminster in 1990 and served as private secretary to Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’,Connor between 2002-2008, before his appointment as rector of Allen Hall Seminary in 2008. Archbishop O’,Toole visited St David’,s Cathedral, Cardiff on 27th April 2022, an hour after it was announced that he had been named the eighth Archbishop of Cardiff and the next Bishop of Menevia ‘,in persona episcopi’,. He visited the Cathedral to greet the people and celebrate Mass with Archbishop George Stack. Archbishop O’,Toole was installed as Archbishop of Cardiff at St David’,s Cathedral on 20 June 2022, the feast of the Welsh martyrs, Saints Julius and Aaron. On 23rd June, he was installed Bishop of Menevia at St Joseph’,s Cathedral, Swansea, the feast of the birth of St John the Baptist. On hearing of his appointment, Archbishop O’,Toole said, “,I am grateful and humbled by the trust that the Holy Father has placed in me. I face the task ahead both with excitement and a certain trepidation, conscious of my own weaknesses. Throughout my life, I have learnt to trust the Lord’,s will more deeply and, in these days of Eastertide especially, I have taken much comfort from Jesus’,s words to his Apostles, ‘,Do not be afraid. I go before you…,…,’,. It is with this deep sense that the Lord goes before all of us in this new mission, that I fully embrace this new calling in my life. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all in the Diocese of Plymouth. You have taught me what it is to be a bishop. I will leave with many happy memories, and with sadness too, in saying farewell to good friends. Thank you for the love you have shown me these past eight years. It strengthens me as I face this new opportunity, and I am sure you will be praying for me. I know too, that I can count on the cooperation and prayers of the Priests, Deacons, Religious and Lay Faithful of the Archdiocese of Cardiff and the Diocese of Menevia. I look forward to meeting you all and, in time, to us getting to know one another. I am delighted that Archbishop George will be staying in the area and I know I can count on his support and advice. I look forward to working with fellow Christians, with people of other Faiths, and with all people of goodwill, for the good of all our local communities. Wales and Herefordshire are new territories for me, having only visited for holidays and retreats. I am struck by the rich history and dramatic geography of the two dioceses, with their vibrant multicultural cities, rural valleys, and beautiful coastlines, their agrarian and modern technological innovation and diversity. I am grateful for the roots we share in our Celtic culture. I hope it gives us a certain fellow-feeling to one another. I know what it means to be uprooted, to make a home in a new and different land, and it will be good to get to know our p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:04 Page 88

89 CARDIFF migrant brothers and sisters. I look forward, too, to steeping myself in the historical reality and diverse experience of the two Dioceses, as we work more closely together. I recognise that this will take time. As one of our Welsh sayings puts it, “,Rhaid cropian cyn cerdded (You must crawl before walking).”, I have much to learn and I know I can count on your patience and understanding. I ask especially for your prayers. When I first became bishop, I chose the motto, “,Into your hands, Lord”,. It is a prayer I have had cause to make many times in recent days. It is a prayer that I ask of us all in Cardiff and Menevia to make together today, and in the weeks and months ahead. For it is in the Lord, as His missionary disciples that we find our deepest identity. It is for Him that we set out afresh, to deepen our love for Him, and to bring others to Him. I commend myself, and all of us, to Mary Immaculately Conceived, that she light the way for us to Her Son, we seek also, the intercession of St Joseph, St David, and all our local patron Saints, in making this new pilgrimage together.”, The installation was followed by a Reception in The Cornerstone in Cardiff where the new Archbishop was warmly welcomed. ARCHBISHOP MEETS KING CHARLES Archbishop Mark was at the Service of Prayer for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth held in Llandaff Cathedral in the presence of His Majesty King Charles and the Queen Consort. Following the service, the Archbishop greeted them both at a reception in Cardiff Castle, hosted by the First Minister, Mark Drakeford. Archbishop Mark assured the King of the prayers of the Catholic community at this time of loss and in his new responsibilities. He also introduced some of the other Faith Leaders in Wales to the King and the Queen Consort. Archbishop Mark represented the whole Catholic community of Wales and Herefordshire, at the State Funeral of the Queen. He carried the prayers of our Dioceses with him to Westminster Abbey –, for the soul of the beloved late Queen Elizabeth, for King Charles and all the Royal Family at this time. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:05 Page 89

90 CARDIFF ARCHBISHOP MARK O’,TOO LE’,S COAT OF ARMS The Ecclesiastical hat, together with the Double Cross, indicate that this is the Coat of Arms of a Metropolitan Archbishop in the Catholic Church. The shield bears an image of the Pallium, which was given to Archbishop Mark by Pope Francis in Rome. The Pallium is a sign of the unity between the local and the universal Church, focused on the unity which Archbishop Mark has with the Holy Father. Every Archbishop participates with him, in the pastoral ministry of the Good Shepherd. The shield is in black and golden yellow, the traditional colours of St David. The ship is an ancient image of the Church, there are two here representing the two local Churches of Cardiff and Menevia. The ship reminds us of the rich maritime history of these Dioceses, as well as that of Plymouth, from which Archbishop Mark has been transferred. Archbishop Mark’,s family originally came from Connemara in Galway, Ireland, a place closely identified with the sea. The lion is the symbol of St Mark. It rests on a shining star, representing Mary, the Morning Star, she who is Our Lady of the Taper, guiding our way in the following of her Son, Jesus Christ. The motto, In Manus Tuam Domini (Into your hands, Lord), comes from Psalm 31, a prayer of confidence and trust in God. These were the last words prayed by the Lord from the Cross (Luke 23:46). They were prayed also by St Stephen (Acts 7:59) before his martyrdom and were often on the lips of those martyred for their faith, including St Cuthbert Mayne, Protomartyr of Douai College. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:05 Page 90

91 CARDIFF BELMONT ABBEY SHOP In late July we had the great joy of seeing the blessing and re-opening of our expanded and re-furbished shop here at Belmont. After the dark and dismal months of lockdown it was truly a joy to see the day when, as part of our apostolate and welcome, we can, once again, open our doors and see the (virtual) sign: Open for business. We were delighted to welcome guests, new and old, and the renowned children’,s book author Madeleine Carroll performed the opening ceremony, equipped with the traditional scissors with which to cut the ribbon, Fr. Abbot kindly performed the blessing ceremony and we were joined by Fr. Bernard Sixtus, Diocesan Director of Education and Lucy Fox from Gracewing publications. As Lucy reminded me afterwards “,it’,s lovely to have a local partner with whom to share our books for a local, as well as further afield audience. A monastic shop is more than simply a place in which to sell goods, albeit religious goods and books. It is a place where people can come to feel inspired, stimulated, where their faith can be strengthened, where people meet and converse, and we are hugely indebted to our loyal (and, during the lockdown, patient) volunteers without whom the shop would not exist. Our shop is truly a little “,hub”, where we can see just what the riches of our faith actually bring into our own lives and the lives of others: Fr. Bernard reminded me, as there is no longer a Catholic bookshop in Cardiff, having this resource at Belmont is something greatly valued by the archdiocese and will be a potential source of inspiration to future generations. Having our shop is not, then, simply about commerce - it’,s about people, monks and their relations with the local and, in the days of the internet, not so local community. A shop, our shop, is an integral part of our monastic outreach, it offers this small hub where people can come to seek inspiration in the many books, or cards, or religious artefacts and in the people here. It is, in short, an essential part of our call to spread the good news of the Gospel and, thanks to the internet, we can embrace many more people in our mission than previously envisaged. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:05 Page 91

92 CARDIFF Our shop is open in the afternoons between 2pm and 4pm Monday to Saturday and after the 09.30 and 11am Masses on Sundays. As well as the wide range of books, cards, religious items (all of which you would expect to find) you will, if you are able to visit, also find a warm welcome and, we hope, a source of inspiration in your own faith and an inspiration to share that faith with others. Fr. James and his team, indeed all of us here at Belmont, look forward to seeing you in the near future. And, of course, if you aren’,t able to visit in person you can engage with us, and with the shop online at :https://www.belmontabbey.org.uk/shop STATUE OF ST DAVID The statue of St David designed and modelled by Sculptor, Barry Davies RCA, came to the Cathedral. Barry created the statue following extensive and thorough research into the life of the sixth Century Saint. After Mass, Barry gave a talk and said he had depicted the Saint as a 60 year old with subtle evidence of arthritis in his fingers –, he wanted to offer a true representation of life in the sixth Century Wales, which would undoubtedly have been hard. Created in plaster and polished in wax, this statue was designed to be cast in bronze. Standing with his crozier in his left hand, he reached out to greet with his right hand. After a few days, the statue went on tour. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:05 Page 92

93 CARDIFF THANKSGIVING GIVING MASS FOR MARRIAGE His Grace the Archbishop celebrated Mass on Saturday 1st October in Thanksgiving for Marriage. Couples from across the archdiocese came together, in person as well as via the live stream, to collectively celebrate over 1700 years of marriage. The order of Blessing of Married Couples was included in the Mass, and couples were encouraged renew their sacramental commitment by participating quietly together, before the Archbishop blessed their wedding rings. In excess of 50 couples from across the archdiocese participated, either in person or via live stream, with some sharing their wedding details and photographs so that they can be remembered especially in the Mass booklet and or used to compile a reflection which was shown during the reception after Mass. Imma &, Giuseppe, who had just returned from their honeymoon and were married for just three weeks ago, lit the Wedding or Unity Candle at the start of Mass. In contrast, Maureen and Bill, who cut the celebration cake during the reception after Mass, celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary this year. Those invited to participate in this Archdiocesan Family Life Celebration included married clergy and those with particular roles in the Archdiocese. Several Deacons and their wives celebrated significant anniversaries, including Deacon Maurice Scanlan, and his wife Sue, who celebrated their golden wedding this summer, Deacon Maurice was also awarded a long service recognition for offering Marriage Counselling through Marriage Care for 35 years. Posthumous recognition was also given to Bonny Harvey and Margaret Harper, both who have passed away in recent years, and who served couples of our diocese for many years through marriage preparation and counselling services. The Archbishop was grateful to have the opportunity to meet with parishioners of the archdiocese far and wide, and to the Family Life Commission for organising such a joyous celebration.

94 CARDIFF RELICS VISIT ST DAVID’,S CATHEDRAL, CARDIFF The relics of St Bernadette travelled from the Upper Basilica in Lourdes to every diocese in UK. Several hundred people venerated them at St David’,s Cathedral and Fr Robert James, Priest in Charge said “,the visit of the relics of St Bernadette was important for a great number of reasons, chief among them, perhaps, was the fact that as we hadn’,t been able to travel to Lourdes for a number of years due to Covid restrictions, Lourdes came to Wales”, Also, the relics of St Philip Evans and St John Lloyd visited the Cathedral. The children of St Philip Evans School, Llanedeyrn and St John Lloyd School , Trowbridge were very involved. They had processed to services in their Parish Churches and then attended Mass in the Cathedral –, they organised the music and read the bidding prayers. Hundreds of people joined in the veneration. Fr Robert James said “,the discovery of the relics of St John Lloyd and St Philip Evans was certainly an exciting moment in the Catholic History of Wales. We were able to come face to face with the saints whose names have become so familiar to us. My hope is that their witness will encourage the next generation, especially those present in the Cathedral that day, to be proud of their Catholic Faith. p67-94_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 14:05 Page 94

FOREWORD The Church is always on mission! In the words of Pope St. Paul VI, she “,exists to evangelize”,. On the following pages you will find a snapshot of that mission being lived out in a particular place –, the Dioceses of Cardiff and Menevia –, and at a particular time in history –, the year 2023. This particular place and time in which we are living have their own peculiarities. We are transitioning further out of the COVID pandemic –, adapting to a ‘,new normal’,. Despite the great struggles and sufferings that the pandemic caused, which we cannot deny, we are now called to embrace and develop the opportunities that it brought: the progress made in digital ministry and outreach, a realisation of the need to support each other and truly live as brothers and sisters, the number of people who began to seek God in the midst of great uncertainty. All of these things must be part of the way we move forward as a Catholic community. We are also in the midst of the Synodal process, begun in 2021, through which the Holy Father has invited us to open ourselves more to the Holy Spirit and to renew our commitment to walking together on the path to God, focussing on three areas: communion, participation and mission. Wonderful work has been done in parishes in response to the Synod. Our own diocesan reports showed a great hunger in the people of Cardiff and Menevia for the Faith: for catechetical formation and greater opportunities for developing parishioners’, spiritual lives. They revealed a renewed commitment of the Church to young people, and a desire for our youth to be more involved in the life of the Church. Concern for the needy and reaching out to those on the margins was also expressed. This all showed a great yearning to go deeper into the practice of our faith, both as individuals and as Christ’,s Body in the world. Along with these two phenomena, we find ourselves in what many describe as a ‘,post-Christian’, and increasingly secular society, swimming against the tide in so many ways. Christianity is no longer the dominant influence in our lands, but simply one influence among others. In this sense, we are living in an age more comparable to the Apostolic Age –, the time of the early Church. We cannot, therefore, continue living as though we were in ‘,Christendom’,, when everyone 96 MENEVIA p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 96

97 MENEVIA knew and accepted the basic tenets of Christian belief. We must find new, creative ways of working and bringing the Good News to the society in which we live. Our strength is found, however, precisely in this message and in the Person of Jesus Christ who we proclaim through the power of the Holy Spirit. We must concentrate efforts and resources on apostolic activities and initiatives. We are also living in a time of transition for our two Dioceses specifically. In June, Archbishop George Stack retired as Archbishop of Cardiff and Apostolic Administrator of Menevia. I became Bishop of both Dioceses, now united in persona Episcopi. I thank both Archbishop George and Bishop Tom Burns for their tremendous work in steering our Dioceses over the past few years. I ask you to pray for me as I take up this new, and by no means small, task, realising every day the necessity of relying on God’,s grace in order to do so. Over the next few months I will be spending time going around the different parts of the Dioceses, visiting the priests and parishes, which I look forward to very much. The call to working together synodally and to being ever more attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit is part of the greater call to holiness that we are all given, in whatever situation or state of life we find ourselves. This past year we were reminded of the great witness of the saints, who inspire and support us in this call, as we welcomed the relics of three saints to our Dioceses: St. Philip Evans, St. John Lloyd and St. Bernadette. Saints Philip Evans and John Lloyd were two ‘,of our own’, –, Welshmen martyred in Cardiff during the Reformation for the ‘,crime’, of ministering as Catholic priests. St. Bernadette, of course, was the recipient of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes in the 19th century, who subsequently gave her life to prayer and living out the message she had received from Mary. They remind us of our own call to holiness in the circumstances of our own lives. It is always a great joy for a bishop to ordain new priests and deacons for service in the mission of a diocese. This past year, I was privileged, shortly after my installation, to ordain Fr. Elliot Hanson to the Priesthood for ministry in Cardiff, and to be present at the ordination of Rev. Gregory Beckett to the Diaconate for service in Menevia. Fr. Elliot will serve in the parishes of Newport, while Deacon Gregory returns for his final year in seminary, as he looks forward to ordination to the Priesthood, God-willing, next summer. Please keep them both in your prayers as they begin their ministry within the mission of our Dioceses, and please pray for those seminarians in formation from our Dioceses, and that the Lord may bless us with more priestly vocations. I recently attended the Third International Congress of Catechists in Rome. On one of the days, the Holy Father addressed us, and urged us to “,never forget the purpose of catechesis: that of meeting Jesus Christ and allowing him to grow in us.”, This is true for everything that we do. Therefore, the snapshot of the mission in our Dioceses in 2023 that the following pages provides must be directed to one thing, one Person: Jesus Christ and an encounter with Him. That is the mission we are called to: to grow in our own relationship of love with the Lord, and to show others the beauty of such a relationship. All of the information on these pages is futile if it does not point to Him. Please pray for me, and I assure you of my prayers, that this year, we all may continue to deepen our love for Jesus Christ. +Mark O’,Toole Archbishop of Cardiff Bishop of Menevia p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 97

Three days later, on 23rd June 2022, he was installed Bishop of Menevia in persona episcopi in the Cathedral Church of St Joseph in Swansea, on the Feast of the Birth of St John the Baptist.

15 2 MENEVIA A NEW ABBESS AT HOLY CROSS ABBEY On January 12th, the feast of St Aelred of Rievaulx, an election was held to determine the new Abbess of Holy Cross Abbey at Whitland. The community of nuns of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance elected from among their own, and Sister Joanna Harrison became Reverend Mother for an indefinite period. As Abbess she success Mother Christine Wood, who lead the community for 16 years before stepping down in December in 2021. Mother Joanna was born in 1956 in London, entered Whitland in 2005 and made her solemn profession in 2011. At the time of her election, she was Novice Mistress. A special Mass and Blessing of the Abbess was held on Saturday 11th June 2022. Archbishop George Stack very kindly agreed to be the chief celebrant and was accompanied, by Fr Liam, part-time chaplain, Cistercian abbots, monks, nuns of the region, and priests and sisters of Menevia as well as friends of the community. The Sisters had not had such a full church for years. The Mass and blessing were powerful in their symbols and joyful in praising the Lord. The whole day was one full of celebration. The Sisters wish to thank all those who made the day possible, who joined them, or sent prayers and greetings, and those who were unable to attend. Thanks too for the many cards and gifts received. Thank be to God for everything as they journey forward in faith hope and love. Deo Gratias. p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 152

15 3 MENEVIA GREGORY BECKETT ORDA INED A DEACON Congratulations to Reverend Gregory Beckett, ordained for the Diocese of Menevia on the 25th June 2022 at St Mary’,s College, Oscott. Deacon Greg has been in formation for the Diocese since 2016 when he began his propadeutic year in Valladolid which began, and he now has just one final year of initial formation at Oscott Seminary, with the hope that he will be ordained a priest for the Diocese after that. He was ordained a deacon by Archbishop Bernard Longley, Archbishop of Birmingham where the seminary is situated. However in a beautiful detail during the ordination liturgy, Deacon Greg made his promise of obedience not in the hands of Archbishop Bernard, but of Archbishop Mark O’,Toole, who had travelled for the ordination just two days after his own installation as Bishop of Menevia. Every priest is always ordained first as a deacon –, the reason being that the word ‘,deacon’, means ‘,servant’,, so that every priest realises his priestly authority and leadership come first and foremost from his servanthood of the people, in imitation of Jesus Christ, the Servant King. The time spent as a deacon is an opportunity for the newly ordained man to become more familiar with proclaiming the Gospel and preaching homilies, distributing holy Communion in the Mass and to the sick, celebrating baptisms, witnessing marriages and leading funeral services. These are all key moments in the daily work of a priest: but the heart of service is the most fundamental aspect of this time spent as a deacon. Please pray for Deacon Greg as he makes his final preparations for ordination to the Sacred Priesthood. May the Lord bless our diocese with many priestly vocations, to continue preaching the Gospel and celebrating the sacraments for the people of Wales. Rev. Matthew Roche-Saunders, Rev. Gregory Beckett, Bishop Mark O’,Toole, Rev. John Patrick Thomas, Rev. Liam Bradley. p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 153

154 MENEVIA OBITUA RIES FATHER SENAN MAHONY 3 November 1937 - 15 March 2022 ‘,O God, come to our aid, O Lord, make haste to help me’, (Psalm 69) There is no gathering together in prayer without first to call on God and for his help.Without the help of God, life makes no sense at all. That is what our Fr Senan experienced throughout his whole life. From the very early beginnings in rural Ireland, not far from the Cliffs of Moher, within a very close-knitted-family-setting, Senan knew that without God’,s help life would turn from grace into a burden too hard to bear. We should not be surprised that from this religious Irish Catholic background Fr Senan chose to become a nurse - a way of life that is at the service of healing. He was only 19 years of age when he went to the north of England for training…,not without being interrupted by the quest for monastic life founded on prayer and manual work within a common life. You can say that Fr Senan was a restless soul in many ways. He went from the North of England to the United States, then to London Richmond where he was responsible for a whole ward at the Star &, Garter Hospital…, All this came to a stop when he entered Caldey at the age of 51 in 1988. However, his caring qualities were called upon during his time as the island’,s guestmaster to which he responded to very generously for over 18 years. His cross was vertical and horizontal and he had the natural ability to combine both in his meeting with people. He was able to sit alongside and connect just by being who he was and, of course, he could laugh and whá,t initial barriers the Irish craic broke down. But he was always the true monk and we all knew that his work at the guest house was the way he served his Lord who always came first, but never without his ongoing struggle with worries and fears, though! His heart went out to many who came to him for advice, for encouragement, and when he was ordained to the priesthood he was in great demand to hear confessions. Senan was very adamant about the practice of celebrating the sacred mysteries, he couldn`t bear any form of shilly-shalliness. Things had to be ‘,just right’,! The celebration of Holy Mass meant everything to him…,right to the very end of his life - for just before he passed away he said, ‘,I want to stay here at Mass’,, and there he was…,the Lord took him to the heavenly table. ‘,You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes, You have anointed my head with oil, my cup is overflowing. Surely, goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, In the Lord’,s own house shall I dwell, for ever and ever’, (Psalm 22 / 23) p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 154

FATHER MICHAEL BURKE, BSc, JCL Please pray for the repose of the soul of Father Michael Burke who died on 25th September. Father Michael was born on the 3rd July 3rd 1957, in Plymouth, the son of Michael and June Burke and brother of Anne. He was educated at schools in Haverfordwest and at Imperial College, University of London. He attended seminary at the Venerable English College and the Pontifical Gregorian University both in Rome. It was during his time as a seminarian in Rome that Father Michael spent two years learning about the Canon Law of the Church. His newfound knowledge and skill in Latin, would later enable him to become the Judicial Vicar of the Diocese. He was ordained for the Diocese of Menevia on 28th July 1984. Father Michael served several parishes in Menevia. In 1986 he was curate at Llanelli before becoming parish priest in Burry Port where he served until 1995. Father Michael then took charge at Britton Ferry until 2001 when he moved to Morriston parish where he spent ten years as parish priest. This was followed by a five year spell at St Joseph’,s Cathedral and a brief time at Clydach. Father Michael held several diocesan positions including membership of the Diocesan Liturgy Commission, Diocesan Master of Ceremonies, Vice-Chancellor, Judge on the National Marriage Tribunal for Wales, Communications Officer, Cathedral Administrator, and a member of the Bishop’,s Council and the College of Consultors. Father Michael visited Florida in the summer for a number of years assisting at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish, Clermont, Annunciation Catholic Parish, Altamonte Springs, St. Ann Catholic Parish, Debary, and St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Parish, Altamonte Springs. Upon retiring in 2016 he returned to Florida and assisted as Parochial Vicar at St. Mary Magdalen Parish. He also served as a judicial vicar for the Diocese of Orlando Marriage Tribunal beginning in 2019. Father Michael’,s body was brought home to Wales and a Requiem Mass was held at St Joseph’,s Cathedral Swansea, on Friday 14th October. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen 15 5 MENEVIA p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 155

15 6 MENEVIA COMMITTEE FOR BROTHER MICHAEL’,S CAUSE FOR CANONISATION (CBMC) The founder of a charity that has helped many thousands of children and adults with disabilities to visit the shrine to Our Lady in Lourdes is the subject of a call for testimonials that could lead to his being declared a saint. On Tuesday 7 December, Archbishop Leo Cushley of St Andrews and Edinburgh celebrated a Mass at Our Lady of Victories Church, Kensington to mark the start of a process that it is hoped will lead to the canonisation of Brother Michael Strode, a Cistercian monk of Caldey Abbey: the launch of a website of the Committee for Brother Michael’,s Cause (CBMC) and the beginning of an appeal for testimonials that could support the Cause. Brother Michael died on 27 December 2019, aged 96. He is perhaps best known, as the founder of HCPT, the charity that for more than 65 years has organised pilgrimages to Lourdes for people with disabilities. Richard King, the Chairman of CBMC, said: “,In his devotion to the care of disabled children and adults, Brother Michael was living out his love of humanity, firmly rooted in his deep spiritual life. If the Cause succeeds, a modern-day saint would be a tremendous example of love and service for the Catholic Church in Britain.”, Born in 1923, Michael Strode became a Catholic in 1945. Trained as a doctor, in 1953 he was appointed to Chailey Heritage, a hospital school for disabled children in Sussex, where he remained until his retirement in 1988. In 1956 he founded the charity now known as HCPT (Hosanna House and Children’,s Pilgrimage Trust). He insisted that disabled children be accommodated not in austere hospitals but in small ‘,family’, groups in hotels, so they could live their week (a ‘,holiday with Our Lady’,) with their helpers - an idea that in the 1970s was extended to disabled adults. A great number of young helpers have, over the years, learned to give themselves to others and so actively participate in the Church and the wider community. This inspired approach has been copied by many other pilgrimages. In 1991 he joined the island community of Cistercian monks at Caldey. Here he lived a monastic life of prayer until in 2016 his health declined and he spent his last years at Nazareth House, Cardiff. The Abbot of Caldey, Father Daniel van Santvoort said: “,As a monk, his existence became a life sacrificed to God, to his brothers, to all his friends and family in a life of silence, prayer, service and dedication. This step certainly did not change him, in fact, it was grace at work in him that brought out his unique humanity for everyone to see –, the beam of laughter and joy in his eyes, his ability to welcome life in a pure, childlike way, and a great sense of fun that is (almost) inimitable.”, p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 156

15 9 MENEVIA NEW ICON OF ST JOACHIM &, ST ANNE During the Covid lockdowns, a parishioner of St Joachim &, St Anne, Dunvant, commissioned an Icon to be painted of the parish patrons. Several months later, it was ready, and the parish were all very happy with it. Fr John blessed it, and it is now used in prayerful devotion, and candles can be lit. The artist, was Rhiannon Powell who had studied for a BA degree in Liverpool. Since, she has combined professional illustration with part time secondary Art teaching. Latterly Rhiannon has enjoyed devising and teaching courses for Adults to develop their drawing skills. Making stained glass windows has become another passion - a craft little changed for a millenia. p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 159

16 0 MENEVIA RELICS OF ST BERNADETTE TOUR Relics of St Bernadette contained in a reliquary, toured Britain from September 3rd-30th. Cardinal Nichols highlighted the importance of the tour. ",There are two objectives in this –, one is to encourage people to come into church again and to enter into the spirit of the simplicity of Bernadette`s life and openness to God. ",The second is obviously to enter into the practice of pilgrimages to Lourdes itself.", He continued: “,The tour will give British Catholics the chance to make a personal pilgrimage to the French saint, to venerate her and to pray for her intercession.", The venues of the tour included cathedrals and major churches, but also a visit to Wormwood Scrubs prison in west London, St Mary`s University in Twickenham, London, and several hospices. There was also an ecumenical event involving the relics in Liverpool. The tour began at Westminster Cathedral, London, where the relics were available for veneration from September 3rd-5th. On Monday September 12th the Relics arrived at St Joseph’,s Cathedral, Swansea after a journey from Cardiff Cathedral. There was a Rite of Celebration to welcome the Relics followed by Veneration. During Veneration, there were ongoing devotions, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Rosary, prayers, litanies etc. Veneration continued on the Tuesday morning both before and after Mass. Following a Rite of Farewell the Relics departed the Cathedral. p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 160

161 MENEVIA 50 TH ANNIVERSARY OF WELSH MARTYRS On Tuesday October 4 th 2022 we kept the 50 th anniversary of the dedication of the Church of the Welsh Martyrs, Penparcau. The celebrations had been delayed by two years due to the pandemic. It was a wonderful opportunity to hold before God each and every memory that had taken place within those walls during that time. We were joined by Fr Patrick Lombard, former parish priest and a representative on the night of many decades of Carmelite ministry in Aberystwyth, Fr Liam Bradley, who had spent time as a seminarian on placement in the parish, and Deacon Greg Beckett, former university student at Aberystwyth. The Mass was a beautiful combination of old and new: we sung the same hymns that were sung on the day of dedication in 1970, while also celebrating the many cultures of today’,s Welsh Martyrs by praying the bidding prayers in several different languages. After the Mass we went over to the nearby Neuadd Goffa for refreshments, following in the footsteps of the parish - ioners who’,d been present at the opening Mass all those years ago. In many ways Welsh Martyrs Church has had an unusual history: for the first 38 years it was a chapel of ease, built as a second church to support the large Mass- going population of Aberystwyth. It was then closed in 2008, remaining so for the next ten years, before being reopened and rededicated in 2018 as the main church of Aberystwyth parish. In his homily, the parish priest Fr Matt Roche-Saunders re - flected on how a church building ‘,enables’, the faith of a community –, it enables them to have a space for prayer, for the celebration of Mass, to hear the Word of God proclaimed and to consume the Living Word himself in Holy Communion. Al - though it enables faith in this unique way, it can’,t make the decision for us: it’,s for each person who steps through these doors to decide for an encounter with the Lord Jesus, to allow him to heal and transform our woundedness and to experience again and again the joy of his resurrection. We pray God’,s blessing over many more decades of such encounters! The evening also saw the launch of a booklet detailing the history of Welsh Martyrs Church, from the initial celebration of Mass in a hall in Penparcau in 1952, right through to the present day. We’,re grateful to Conor Brockbank for his significant la - bour of love in putting this history together. Copies are available by contacting the parish office should you wish to order one: aberystwyth@menevia.org. p95-162_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:44 Page 161

16 4 Foreword I wrote a year ago, “,If 2022 is to be anything it is to be a ‘,year of hope’,.”, 2022 turned out to be many things that demanded of us more than just hope. As previous patterns of life re - sumed and we largely set behind us the co - ronavirus pandemic, though remembering that for some it was still very much a threat and a fear and for others held painful mem - ories we were confronted with the Russian in - vasion of Ukraine and the first major European war for seven decades. The con - sequences to us all very quickly became ap - parent - the rise in energy costs and threats of food shortages as grain markets contem - plated the consequences of no exports from Ukraine. In turn that triggered an inexorable rise in many other household prices, a huge leap in the cost of living, significant financial and fiscal changes, calls for increased wages in line with the current costs, strikes. The weather and party politics also played their part in what seemed to be an increased destabilisation of our society and that of the world. Then, for a brief two weeks the nation seemed to be united, united in its sorrow at the death of Queen Elizabeth II and in her mourning rites. Hope was to be experienced in a tangible way in the weeks when parishes and others gathered in the great listening pilgrimage that P.Francis invited in March 2020, the Church to participate as part of the Synodal process in first stage prep - aration for the October 2023. As COVID spread the Holy Father had reminded us: ‘,We have realised that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and dis - oriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat …, are all of us. Just like those disciples, who spoke anxiously with one voice, saying “,We are perishing”,, so we too have realised that we cannot go on thinking of ourselves, but only together can we do this.’, P. Francis, Statio Orbis Homily, 27th March 2020 Whatever else that listening to one another produced was the recognition and ac - ceptance there must be more formation and evangelisation of and in parish com - munities themselves before we are able to take the Word of God into the world around us. This was underlined by P. Francis when on the feast of Ss.Peter &, Paul he gave the Church the Apostolic Letter Desiderio Desideravi in which he writes about liturgical formation especially. As a starting point for reflection writes the Holy Father: ‘,I think two aspects can be distinguished: formation for the Liturgy and formation by the Liturgy. The first depends upon the second which is es - sential. (N.34) ‘,It was and is necessary to find the channels for a formation that is the study of Liturgy. From the beginning of the liturgical movement much has been done in this regard, with precious contributions from scholars and academic institutions. Nonetheless, it is important now to spread this knowledge beyond the academic environment, in an accessible way, so WREXHAM p163-214_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:46 Page 164

16 5 WREXHAM that each one of the faithful might grow in a knowledge of the theologi - cal sense of the Liturgy.’, (N.35) P.Francis With the retirement of Archbishop George Stack in the early summer we wel - comed Archbishop Mark O’,Toole to Wales as he was installed Metropolitan Arch - bishop of Cardiff and Bishop of Menevia. The late summer brought a great demonstration of faith and hope, with the pil - grimage around Great Britain of the relics of S. Bernadette of Lourdes being in the Diocese, especially at the time of the patronal feast of our Cathedral –, Our Lady of Sorrows. An occasion too of the coming together of two teenage saints at Holy - well - Winefride and Bernadette, though separated by over twelve hundred years, but each having a cult of pilgrimage, a well or spring of water and a tradition of prayer and of healing. At this time we joined the nation in our mourning and prayer at the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, solemnly observed in the Cathedral and with right emotion a Month’,s Mind Requiem Mass and Evening Prayer. In the year the following significant events took place. Sadly the first was the death of, Monsignor Canon James Fealey in January. He was in his fifty-second year of priesthood and died after a period of declining health. His obituary is pub - lished in this Year Book. At the February Chapter Mass Fr. Adrian Wilcock of Flint Parish was appointed and installed as a Cathedral Canon. At the end of May the inaugural Mass for the Vincentian Congregation’,s retreat and spirituality at Pantasaph was celebrated in the Padre Pio garden chapel with great colour and joy June brought two celebra - tions, firstly Canon Bernard Morgan in Abergele celebrated his Golden Jubilee of Priesthood, secondly John Goggin of S. David’,s Mold was ordained Deacon, fol - lowing in a now well established line of permanent deacons in Mold. July marked the sixtieth anniversary of S. Anne’,s Church and Parish Wrexham. In September the 150th and the 110th Anniversaries respectively of S. David’,s School, Mold and S. Helen’,s School, Caernarfon were also duly celebrated. More mundanely though equally importantly, parish catechetical programmes re - sumed and I look forward to seeing their fruits when I am able to resume parish visitations and be out and about in the Diocese again, for various celebrations and of course for the Sacrament of Confirmation. At the same time as the publication of this YearBook a new on-line Diocesan newsletter is launched. With it I look forward to forward to having again a channel of communication to the Diocese as well as the opportunity to share current events, news and articles across the Diocese. 2023 will also see the resumption of the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes as well as the continued development of our own pilgrimage site, the Shrine and well of S. Winefride which has such huge potential as a place of evangelisation. This year, in addition to the Synod 2023 in Rome the Church will begin her cel - ebrations for the sixtieth anniversary of the Second Vatican Council (October 1962 to December 1 965) and the Constitutions and Documents the Council Fathers produced for the life of the Church now. p163-214_Welsh_2023.qxp_Layout 1 01/11/2022 09:46 Page 165

16 6 WREXHAM As ever I am most grateful to all who have contributed to the compilation of this year’,s Directory and Yearbook. Particular thanks go to the Curial staff who strive tirelessly to serve the Diocese and maintain the usefulness of this Provincial pub - lication 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 web - site- become more and more an arm of the Diocese’,s commitment to evangelisa - tion. No publication, 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. Do please look to the God Who Speaks website (godwhospeaks.uk) where you will find an ever fresh and informative opening-up of the Bible for young and old alike. I continue to pray for you, your families and our communities that 2023 be a year of peace, joy and blessing and I look forward to seeing in your parishes and at all our Diocesan events to which you are of course entitled to attend without further invitation.
