Archbishop Mark O’Toole has announced the creation of the new Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia, a decision promulgated by Pope Francis on 12 September and coinciding with the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary.
The announcement by the archbishop, who now becomes the Archbishop of Cardiff-Menevia, having served as Archbishop of Cardiff and Bishop of Menevia since 2022, is to be read in churches across the region on the weekend of 14/15 September.
The decision and the unification “marks a significant milestone for the Catholic community in South Wales and Herefordshire”, says the current Archdiocese of Cardiff website.
