Parishioners at a Welsh church were shocked to learn just before Christmas that their church is to be closed in a few weeks’ time. The news came in the Christmas newsletter from their bishop.
Bishop Peter Brignall of Wrexham told parishioners at St Michael And All Angels in Conwy that their 100-year-old church would be closing not because of a dwindling congregation but because of a lack of priests.
In addition, the newsletter said, the Church of Sacred Heart in St Augustine’s Priory House of Prayer in the Parish of Old Colwyn is to be amalgamated with Colwyn Bay parish.
