St Mary of the Angels Roman Catholic Church ''(Welsh: Llanfair Yr Angylion)'' is located in Canton, Cardiff. It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff. It opened on 3 November 1907.〔http://www.stmarysrccardiff.org.uk/id21.html〕 The Parish Priest is Monsignor John Maguire and he is assisted by Fr. Andrea Bord. ==Church History== The church architect was Frederick Walters and was built by W. T. Morgan. The foundation stone of the church was laid on 20 January 1907 by Bishop Hedley and later that year, on 30 October, the altar was consecrated before the church opened on 3 December. In January 1941, the sacristies and St Ann's Chapel in the church were destroyed by an air raid. 10 years on, the sacristies and chapel were rebuilt. In 1952, the church was temporarily closed to repaint and clean the church as well as to install new lighting and amplifiers. The church was repainted again in 1962. Mgr. John Maguire, the present Parish Priest, was appointed in 1991, after the church came under the care of the Archdiocese of Cardiff after many years under the Benedictine Community. Fr. Chris Delaney, O.S.B., a long-serving assistant priest returned to Buckfast Abbey in March 2011 after 44 years of faithful service in Canton. The church was reordered inside to comply with new liturgical laws in 2000. The parish is currently taking responsibility for the parish of Sacred Heart, Leckwith, Cardiff, following the transfer of the Parish Priest to Abertillery and Brynmawr. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Mary of the Angels R C Church, Canton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
