St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Grangetown, Cardiff, is part of the Cardiff West Deanery of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff. It opened on St Patrick's Day 1930.
There has been a St Patrick's Church in Grangetown since 1882, adjacent to St Patrick's School. A Memorial Hall was built in 1921. Plans were set in motion in 1928 to build a new church, on the site of allotments of two parishioners. The foundation stone was laid on St Patrick's Day 1929 and the church was opened exactly one year later. [1]
It has been proposed that the current parish hall in Bishop Street be demolished to make way for a new health centre to serve the whole of Grangetown.[ needs update ] It has arisen, however, that this cannot take place due to a group of bats (a protected species in Britain) that live in the roof of the hall. Designs have been made for a new hall to be built next to the church, meaning a removal of the lawn.
Due to the reorganisation of the archdiocese, St. Cuthbert's Parish in the Docks will become part of St. Patrick's.[ when? ] Also, the church became part of the Cardiff Deanery instead of the Cardiff West Deanery. (The new deanery merged both the old Cardiff East and West deaneries.)[ when? ]
Long serving priest, Father John Fahey, died on Christmas Eve in 2008. He was succeeded by Father Bogdan Wera in 2008 – who revived the church with a growing Polish community. [2] Father Bogdan died in September 2017. The church has now been joined by Canon Michael Patrick Evans.
