EVENTS IN THE
ROATH & CATHAYS MINISTRY AREA


Many congratulations to the Rev'd Canon Stewart Lisk, Leader of the Roath & Cathays Ministry Area, on his being awarded the British Empire Medal in the King's birthday honours list of June 2024, in recognition of Stewart's work as Cardiff's Civic Chaplain and his support of various charities.


Croeso cynnes iawn i Jarel!
​
A packed St. German's witnessed the licensing of the Rev'd Canon Jarel Robinson-Brown by Bishop Mary Stallard on Saturday, March 23rd. It was a wonderful occasion to lift our hearts, especially for the people of St. German's who have been without a priest of their own for the last three years. It was also heart-warming to see the high regard for Jarel from his friends and colleagues from all areas of his life. We pray for a blessed and fruitful ministry here in the Ministry Area of Roath & Cathays.
