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.
