History

Foundation

In 1890, the population of Newport increased with the opening of a steel mill by John Lysaght and Co. In 1909, a building on Corporation Road was bought to act as a place of worship for the increasing Catholic population. In 1925, a church made of iron was built on Cromwell Road and it became the centre of the new parish. The church itself was also made by John Lysaght and Co., was designed by Cyril F. Bates and had a capacity of 550 people. It was opened by the Archbishop of Cardiff Francis Mostyn. In 1927, a presbytery was built and in 1947, a church hall. [2]

Construction

In 1962, building work started on a larger church, with a capacity of 600. As before, it was designed by Cyril Bates. Construction was done by Noel T. James Ltd. On 28 August 1963, the church was opened by the Archbishop of Cardiff, John Murphy. On 10 June 1980, the church was consecrated. It has mosaics, a baldacchino, the east window and carvings above the chancel all designed by Jonah Jones. [2]

Parish

The church remains in its own parish, which is still served by the Rosminians. Its Sunday Masses are at 6:00pm on Saturday and at 10:00am on Sunday. [3]
