Parish Priest: Fr Augustine Primavesi OSB 

The Church at Belmont was designed by Edward Welby Pugin, son of the great Augustus Welby Pugin at the request of Francis Richard Wegg-Prosser who can rightly be called its founder. At fifteen years of age he inheritied the neighbouring Belmont House (for many years a convent). He was received into the Catholic Church in 1852 at the age of 28 and immediately began applying his extensive to the building of churches to serve the area. One, which is older than the Abbey Church, is now the Parish Centre with the attached parish priest's house. Until 1947 it was a chapel-school to educate local children dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul

Parish Priest: Fr Matthew Carney OSB

The Church of St Mary and St Michael, Llanarth, Monmouthshire, was built as the family chapel for Llanarth Court. It was the first Roman Catholic church to have been constructed in the county since the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Built circa 1790, some decades before the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, it was designed to look like an orangery, or barn, in order not to attract anti-Catholic hostility. It is considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Catholic churches in Wales.

Parish Priest 01544 318325 

Parish Priest: Fr Simon McGurk OSB

During penal times the Weobley area was described as a “nest of Papists”. From the sixteenth century until 1835 a Catholic Chapel was maintained at nearby Sarnesfield Court, by the Monnington family, whose zeal caused Thomas Monnington to be imprisoned in Hereford at the time of the Oates Plot. Following Catholic Emancipation the faithful were able to build the present Church of Saint Thomas of Hereford - dedicated to the saintly bishop Thomas Cantilupe (d.1282), though Mass was still said at Sarnesfield until the 1860s and until recent years at Broxwood where the Snead-Coxes built a Chapel designed by Charles Hanson. There is now a Chapel-of-Ease at Saint Bede’s Kington

In the 1890’s our Church building started life as a Mission Room run by the Church Army for St Mary’s Anglican Parish. In 1936 the Mission moved to a new Church Hall built in the Square but the Mission Room continued to be used for various functions. In the early 1980’s, with the help of a loan from the Diocese the old Mission Hall was purchased by St Bede’s parish

Parish Priest 01946 692342 

Priests: 

Fr Cenydd Marrison OSB

Fr Richard Simons OSB

The Catholic Church began its mission in Whitehaven in 1706, when Dom Francis Rich, a Benedictine of Saint Gregory's, then at Douai, arrived in Cumberland to serve the growing Catholic population. This began a much appreciated Benedictine presence in Whitehaven, which continues to this day. 

The foundation stone of the Priory Church was laid by Bishop Dorian in 1865, during the incumbency of Dom Dominic Lynass, and the Church was opened for worship on 29 October 1868. The Church was dedicated to Saint Gregory and Saint Bega, an Irish princess, who fled to Cumbria to begin her mission to the native people. 

The parish celebrated its tercentenary in 2006.

There is accommodation for about 300 pupils. The school was dedicated to St Gregory & St Patrick, known respectively as the 'Apostle of England' and the 'Apostle of Ireland'.

In 1905 the present chapel was built attached to the school.

Parish Priest: Fr Brendan Thomas OSB

The foundation stone of Saint Francis Xavier’s was laid on Tuesday 19 September 1837. The Church was designed by Charles Day of Worcester and superseded a Chapel built in 1792 by Father Horne. The building itself is of the Doric order. The principal light within comes from a large dome. Ionic columns balance and harmonise the Sanctuary. The Church was built at a cost of over £16,000. The marble Altar and Tabernacle, with its pillared drum and surrounding Dome - elegant in design, rich in structure and colour is a replica of the Tabernacle by Bernini in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in Saint Peter’s Rome.

Parish Priest: Fr Andrew Berry OSB

The Hereford Parish had been served by English Benedictine Congregation Monks from Belmont Abbey, just two miles outside. the City, for nearly a century, when Archbishop McGrath of Cardiff decided to establish a separate Parish to serve Catholics resident to the south of the River Wye. The new Parish, dedicated to Our Lady, Queen of the Universe, was entrusted to the Vincentian Fathers. Abbot Romuald Leonard had purchased a large Victorian house and grounds to establish a School - this property was to be the heart of the new Parish. In 1957 a Hall was built, to be used as a temporary Church. In 1989 the parish returned to the care of the Belmont community.
