In 1925 Archbishop Mostyn appointed Canon Thomas Phelan as the first Parish Priest of the Parish of St. Teilo’s, Whitchurch. The Archdiocese had recently purchased the site on which the church now stands. The institution of the new parish was marked on the 4 th April 1925 by Archbishop Mostyn blessing and opening the, then, Parish Hall in St. Margaret’s Road. At 7pm on April 4th 2025 we gather, led by Archbishop Mark O’Toole, to mark the centenary of the establishment of the Parish and the 100 years of faith, prayer, family and community with which we have been blessed. Please make every effort to attend the Centenary Mass to remember those who have gone before us in faith and to pray for those who will take the banner of faith into the future.

In the Middle Ages in England and Wales, this antiphon led to the tradition of people returning to their Mother Church on this day, that Church being the church of their baptism or family home, which led to the day being called Mothering Sunday. Even after the Catholic tradition had died out in these islands, servants and other domestic staff were released from service for this day to visit their families. This led to the idea of paying special attention to our own mothers on Mothering Sunday, which is why it is now also known as Mother’s Day.  So, today we will celebrate with all the Mothers, Grandmothers and Carers in the parish. On this day, our parish mothers, grandmothers and carers take this day to give thanks to God for their children, families and friends.

Today is Laetare Sunday. The Latin “laetare” means "to rejoice" - the first word of the Entrance Antiphon for today’s Mass: Rejoice, Jerusalem, and all who love her. Be joyful, all who were in mourning; exult and be satisfied at her consoling breast. In the spirit of joy of this middle Sunday of Lent, today is a day of relaxation from normal Lenten rigours; a day of hope with Easter at last within sight, only three weeks away.  When we face personal challenges or hear of atrocities in Ukraine and elsewhere, we know that in a time of challenge and trial it is not always easy to rejoice, but our faith reminds us that even in the darkest of times the Lord is near. As Lent reminds us, Easter only comes after the pain and agony of the Cross.

The Parish Lenten Sessions continue on Wednesday. The theme, based on the theme of the Jubilee Year is: “Hope against Hope” The topic of the fourth session will be: The Prayer of Hope.  The session will remind us that the virtue of hope enables us to desire things that are naturally impossible to us, such as holiness, eternal life and beatitude in God. We hope because God makes these things possible for us to obtain. Why not come along to reflect on the theme of Hope during this Jubilee Year when we are called to be: Pilgrims of Hope?
By Webmaster March 8, 2025
This year, Pope Francis proclaimed 2025 as the Jubilee Year of Hope, with the theme of “hope does not disappoint” and a call to Catholics worldwide to become “Pilgrims of Hope.” The Jubilee Year officially started on Christmas Eve at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and will continue until the Feast of the Epiphany in 2026. On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis invited pilgrims to the Vatican to walk through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s and the other Holy Doors throughout Rome and the world. In the Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia the Holy Doors are at St. David’s Cathedral, Cardiff, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, Swansea, the statue of Our Lady of Penrhys, the Shrine of Our Lady of the Taper, Cardigan, the Shrine of Divine Mercy at Sacred Heart, Morriston, the Churches of St. Francis Xavier, Hereford, St. Francis Xavier and St. David Lewis, Usk, Our Lady and St. Illtyd, Llantwit Major, the Welsh Martyrs, Aberystwyth, the chapel of St. Non’s Retreat Centre in St. David’s; and the Abbey Churches of St. Michael and All Angels, Belmont and Our Lady and St. Samson, Caldey Island.  On a visit to the Holy Door(s) you are invited to undertake a pious act including participating devoutly in Holy Mass or at a celebration of the Word of God; the Liturgy of the Hours (Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer); the Stations of the Cross or the Rosary along with the other requirements for an Indulgence - https://rcadc.org/jubilee-home/the-jubilee-indulgence/ Preparations for the 2025 Year of Jubilee began in Advent 2023, which marked the start of a year of prayer. The Bishops’ Conference have produced resources for the preparatory year of prayer, focusing on the Our Father, as well as resources about Jubilee in the Catholic Church.

An Act of Spiritual Communion


My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

 Amen.

Apologies to all those who make use of the Hearing Loop at St. Teilo’s. The current loop has degraded in at least five places. The degradation is so bad that we have followed the professional recommendation and are replacing the whole cable around  the Church. Sadly, this means that the Hearing Loop will not be operational until the work is complete.
