Repairs and Redecorations at St. Teilo’s

Webmaster • August 26, 2023

The Archdiocesan Trustees have supported Canon John and the Parish Finance Committee in their proposal to undertake repair and enhancement works at St. Teilo’s.


Approval has been received for four projects which will be undertaken over the next few months:

a) Repairs and redecoration of the external concrete walls which are suffering from steel reinforcement failure,

b) Creation of a ladder and safety walkway access system to enable access to the Church roof for repairs and maintenance

c) New Lighting for the Church

and

d) Internal Redecoration of the Church and Parish Hall


These are the first major works in the Church since the re-ordering of the Sanctuary and addition of the Parish Hall which took place 18 years ago. Over coming weeks we will explore fundraising approaches to cover the costs of these works.


Please note: Due to the works and Canon’s holiday St. Teilo’s will be closed on weekdays from August Bank Holiday until the end of September. There will be no weekday Masses in the Parish during this time. Weekend Masses will continue as usual.


Car Parking at St. Teilo’s on Sunday

Due to the scaffolding now in place, it will not be possible to use the Church Car Park at St. Teilo’s. If you do need to bring a car to Church, please make use of the public car parks behind Victoria Road (access off Penlline Road) or behind the shops on Merthyr Road.

The joy that fills the Church at the birth of Jesus is celebrated throughout the Christmas season. The Church, as a continuation of the Christmas Feast, celebrates the Octave of Christmas, that is, the eight days between Christmas and New Year’s Day as a special celebration, with each day celebrated with prayer based on the Angels’ message to the Shepherds, the Gloria.  Unlike our society, which seems to see December 25th as the end of the Christmas season, for us, December 25th is the beginning of Christmastime. These days between Christmas and New Year see many people taking leave, which is a great opportunity to spend more time with the Lord and come to a Christmas Octave Mass. During this week, we will celebrate the feasts of St. Stephen on the 26th , St. John the Apostle on the 27th and the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph next Sunday. This all culminates in the celebration of Mary, the Mother of God, on New Year’s Day.
