Welcome to the

Ministry Area of Barry

We are looking for a new Ministry Area Leader … …… to take up the leadership of our Ministry Area, which in 2016 was one of the earliest to be established in Llandaff Diocese, and encompasses the whole of Barry, one of Wales’s largest towns. Barry is an exci ng place to live, a town in the process of major regenera on, as it transforms itself from a rich mari me past into a modern a rac ve development, fit for twenty-first century living. We are four churches, with three incumbent clergy, and strong community and ecumenical rela onships; we too are in a process of regenera on. Through worship, pastoral care and our active concern for the wider community, we seek to express the transforming love of God to all. Our vision is directed towards the people and communities of Barry, but this in turn is rooted in the overall strategy of the diocese, as set out below.

Diocesan Vision

We believe faith matters.

Our vision is that all may encounter and know the love of God through truth, beauty and service, living full and rich lives through faith.

Transforming lives through living and bearing witness to Jesus Christ is our calling. We seek to do this in a Diocese that is strong, confident, alive and living in faith,

engaged with the reali es of life and serving others in His name.

Our profound belief in the sovereignty of God means that we will look to con nue Christ’s church and mission by:

Telling a joyful story. Growing the Kingdom of God. Building our capacity for good.

2. The Ministry Area Today 2.1 Ministry Area Mission Statement Our Church is a fellowship of caring people in which we seek to express the love of God to all. We seek to do this in our worship, in our pastoral care and in our concern for the wider community. Our profound belief in God means that we look to continue Christ’s church and mission by telling the joyful story of Jesus, growing the Kingdom of God by empowering all to participate and building the future in hope and love 2.2. Our vision for the future TELL THE JOYFUL STORY of Jesus Christ through the Gospel - spreading it into the wider community by sharing our faith with others. GROW THE KINGDOM OF GOD by building up our own spiritual strength. BUILD OUR CAPACITY FOR GOOD through outreach into the wider community. 2.3 Staffing The Ministry Area has been established with three incumbent clergy posts, all licensed as Vicars, of whom one, the Ministry Area Leader, is appointed Priest-in-Charge. Currently, in Barry, ministry staffing is provided by:

Vacant Ministry Area Leader Fr Robert Parrish Vicar Vacant Vicar Fr Chris Seaton, SSC NSM Associate Priest Peter Atkins Licensed Lay Reader Janet Braddon Office Administrator (employed)

A retired priest, Fr Edward Dowding, has in recent months also been providing regular support. The vacant post of Vicar in the Ministry Area is being advertised concurrently with the post of Ministry Area Leader. Interviews are currently scheduled for March 2021, and we anticipate that the new Ministry Area Leader-designate will be involved with that appointment. We aim to use the opportunity of both posts being appointed at the same time, to create a diverse clergy team, serving the whole town. Applications for both posts will therefore be encouraged from both women and men in priests’ orders.

2.4 Church Life Since the establishment of the Ministry Area in 2016, much has been achieved, as the Anglican churches have come together in a positive way, to organise their activities as far as possible on a Barry-wide basis. This has been further developed by extending our practical cooperation from our congregations, to incorporate work with other denominations. An example of this was the Churches of Barry working together to perform ‘Christmas the Story’ seen by over 2000 adults and children. Another example of our Ministry Area and other denominations coming together can be seen in the annual Good Friday Ecumenical Walk of Witness, and the operation of the Food Bank. 6

We have witnessed the establishment of the Chaplaincy Team, presently comprising of 20 lay chaplains and the expansion of the Home Communion Team. This has included visits and Services in Care Homes, visiting the housebound and taking the Sacrament into the homes of the elderly and the sick. All Chaplaincy members are DBS checked and trained in Safeguarding. The Ministry Area comes together to raise funds for our Churches and the wider community. Fundraising events are numerous throughout the year and are very well supported. Our website, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube accounts (registered as the Rectorial Benefice of Barry) are an active part of our communications, and kept regularly up to date. 2.5 Our congregations and services The following is a list of our Services pre-Pandemic.

The Ministry Area is very fortunate to have the services of an excellent choir master and choir. They are located mainly at All Saints’, but both play a major part in Ministry Area services throughout the year. Since the Pandemic, services have been live-streamed every day. When permitted, three services per week were held in church. Mass and Night Prayer are offered daily on line. 2.6 Sunday Schools All Saints Sunday School currently have 80 children on the attendance roll. The weekly attendance averages about 40. The Sunday School is successful due to the hard and dedicated work of the Co-ordinator and Volunteers. In St Mary’s the Children’s Sunday Club has replaced the Sunday School, but this is an area of Church life where growth is desperately needed. We would like particularly to strengthen links with a local scout group, who as yet remain on the fringe of church life. All those who have contact with children have all been through the advanced disclosure procedure required by the guidelines associated with the Child Protection Act and most have attended appropriate courses. 2.7 Ministry Area and Schools The Ministry Area of Barry has 21 schools; a mix of English Primary, Welsh Primary, English Secondary and Welsh Secondary. We have an excellent interaction with many of these across the town, and our ministry in schools and with families will continue to be a high priority for our mission and outreach, in future. In particular, All Saints’ church enjoys close links with All Saints’ Primary School (opened in 1986), and St Cadoc’s church has strong connections with Cadoxton School, situated nearby, who visit the church on a regular basis for Religious Education and fact finding visits. St Mary’s has pursued good links with local schools and has hosted many Primary and Secondary school concerts. Priests from the Ministry Area also visit the Bishop of Llandaff School, Cardiff to assist in assemblies and services, and have readily served as school governors. 2.8 Ministry Area Music All Saints is very fortunate to be supported by a choir of 28 members enhanced by the services of an excellent Organist and Director of Music. The main focus of the choir is to lead and enhance the worship of the congregation at All Saints’ Church, where the various mass settings are all sung. The music sung at services is mainly traditional, but we also incorporate some modern worship songs to engage with the younger families. We hope that any successful Ministry Area Leader will be keen to encourage and support all types of music in all aspects of the services. The choir also supports services throughout the Ministry Area and has supported services throughout the country. They have recently sung services at St Paul’s Cathedral, St George’s Chapel, Windsor and Bath Abbey. All Saints’ is fortunate to host many concerts and has a monthly series of Lunchtime Recitals where players come from the local area, schools and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. We host annual concerts with Barry Male Voice Choir, and have close links with the St Donat’s Chorale and the St Athan Brass Band. 8

All Saints’ has one of the last pipe organs in the area and the PCC has recently requested a faculty for repairs and has launched a major organ restoration fundraising appeal. St Cadoc’s & St Mary’s have digital organs through which downloaded music can be played. As with St Cadoc’s & St Mary’s, Merthyr Dyfan does not have access to a regular keyboard player but utilises pre-recorded music to enhance their services. 2.9 Mothers’ Union All Saints continues to have a successful Mothers’ Union and draws many members from across the whole Ministry Area. Every year it continues to support charities including the Overseas Fund, Literacy and Developments Fund, Great Britain and Ireland Fund, Wheels Appeal, Barnardo’s, Caravan Fund and the Indoor Member Fund. In January 2019, MU took part in the annual ‘Wave of Prayer’. 2.10 Outreach The churches in the Ministry Area of Barry have been involved with, and implemented, charity and outreach projects over many years. This is an important part of our church life in serving our local communi es and the wider world. We regularly support the various chari es that are included in our normal church giving, such as Chris an Aid, Missions to Seafarers, our Lent appeals and occasional one-off appeals that need our help. For the last few years our churches have been Foodbank collec on points, with St. Mary’s church in the town centre being a distribu on point manned by volunteers from within our Ministry Area. A chaplaincy team was established three years ago, led by Fr. Chris Seaton, and assisted by a team of about 20 from across the Ministry Area churches, who are ac vely involved in visi ng the elderly and lonely in their homes, in care homes and in hospital, even if they have never a ended church. Three years ago a `reverse’ Advent project was ini ated, whereby instead of receiving the tradi onal chocolate from an Advent calendar, members of our congrega ons were encouraged to donate Christmas goodies. This enabled us to support the Foodbank, Ty Bronna Church Army Hostel for young people and the Huggard Homeless Centre. This outreach project is well supported. We hope to expand and strengthen our exis ng links to the Ty Bronna Church Army Hostel and the Huggard Homeless Centre in the future. Another ecumenical ini a ve started five years ago, and led by Fr. Robert Parrish, is the Good Friday walk of witness with clergy and lay people par cipa ng from all denomina ons. This is an important act of witness and a way for us to be visible in the community. Friendship and working together with the other denominations in Barry has become increasingly important in recent years, following on from the setting up of the Good Friday Walk of Witness. We would hope the new Ministry Area Leader will be a keen ecumenist. Five years ago, we held our first “Christmas the story”, put together with the input of many of the denomina ons of churches in the town and held at our town centre church of St Mary’s. This outreach project runs for a week and enables the Christmas story to be told in a simple way. This has proved very popular, with about 2000 a ending, and has become a regular event on the local schools’ calendar. During the first wave of coronavirus, parishioners responded to an appeal by local NHS staff for dona ons of snacks and drinks that could be provided for them as they were under extreme pressures. The support received, nurses told us, made a huge difference to them. In future we plan to con nue with our exis ng charity and outreach but also hope to look at some new ideas.

2.11 Wider Associations The Ministry Area sponsors a Candle in the Holy House of The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. We also have an Our Lady of Walsingham Cell, that supports spiritually and financially the work of the Shrine; the Cell meets and worships on a monthly basis. There are several members of the Ministry Area who are members of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament Cell of Holy Trinity and St Cadoc, for which regular meetings are arranged throughout South Wales. In addi on to fundraising support for several Chris an agencies, we have been involved with Opera on Christmas Child shoebox appeal for 20 years. The appeal has enabled the congrega ons across our Ministry Area to bring love, hope and joy in the form of simple gi s in a shoebox to thousands of needy children in Eastern Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia. Also, All Saints’ Church has for many years supported the Kiyombe Cow Scheme in Rwanda, supporting the poorest families in rural areas. Ministry Area members regularly participate in the Llandaff Diocesan Pilgrimage to Walsingham, and the Festival of Faith at Glastonbury. 2.12 Facts and Figures At its formation in 2016, the Ministry Area had six churches. Since then two, St Paul and St Baruc have been closed, leaving four church buildings now in active use:

Church of St Dyfan and St Teilo (Grade II* listing ), Merthyr Dyfan Church of St Cadoc (Grade II* listing), Cadoxton Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Holton Road All Saints’ Church (Grade II listing), Park Road.

The Ministry Area has an estimated population of 54, 673 (Office for National Statistics 2016). The Ministry Area (currently registered as the Rectorial Benefice of Barry) is a registered charity, number 1134392. A copy of the latest published accounts is appended to this profile. The Ministry Area is situated in a community with good financial resources and fundraising potential, for several years, unrestricted income has been sufficient to cover normal annual expenditure. Continuing financial support for the life of the churches is encouraged, with teaching on stewardship, and wider fundraising, a policy in which the new Ministry Area Leader will be expected to take a leading part. The Ministry Area has recently undergone a buildings audit in order to prioritise work projects, and in response to that, a buildings committee has been set up to oversee the programme of work. In 2019 we donated 2146.61kg of food to the Vale Foodbank through weekly donations and Harvest collections. 1,523 people saw Christmas the Story in 2019. Over 2,000 people saw it in the previous year. Christmas Communicants 228 Chaplaincy Team Visits 478 Home Communions 455 Baptisms 65 Weddings 10 Confirmations 7 Funerals 105 There are 201 names on the Electoral Roll as of November 2020. 10

3. The Churches 3.1 All Saints’ Church

All Saints’ Church was built at the beginning of the 20th Century to meet the needs of the dramatic increase in population following the construction of Barry Docks. The church was built in two parts - the Nave and Aisles in 1908 and the Chancel, Tower and Vestries in 1915. The church can hold approximately 300 people. The church is in relatively good repair with a new roof completed in 2018 over the Nave and Aisles and a new heating system installed in the same year.

The church is situated in the west end of Barry. Many people who formerly attended St. Baruc’s Church on Barry Island now attend All Saints’ since the closure of that Church in January 2019. A Chapel dedicated to St. Baruc is situated at the north end of All Saints. The church hall is situated in the car park at the rear of the church. This hall is used by the Sunday school, church groups and community groups. The church administrator’s office is in the Hall. The church and church hall are utilised for fundraising events such as concerts, lunchtime recitals, Lenten and autumn lunches and craft fayres. 3.2 Church of St Cadoc

The church of St Cadoc is situated in the Cadoxton area of the town and the church is affectionately known as the “Old Village Church”. It is a Grade II* listed building and is in the Cadoxton Conservation Area. The church was founded in 800AD and dedicated to St. Cadoc. It was from the church the village took its name. The present structure is Norman but built on the site of an earlier church founded by St. Cadoc himself. The church can seat 70 people in its old pews and the vestry,

though small, is adequate. The Church and grounds are used for fund raising activities. Some of the charities supported include Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal, Foodbank, Ty Bronna and the Huggard Centre. Major Fundraising is ongoing and a faculty has recently been approved for the installation of a toilet in the grounds.

3.3 Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary

St Mary’s Church is situated in the town centre and opened for worship in 1905 to help meet the growing population of Barry due to the building of the new dock. The church is situated in the enviable position on the main thoroughfare of the town of Barry. The main nave area will seat about 150. The “Lady Chapel” will seat up to 100 people. There is good public parking nearby. St Mary’s was built for Tractarian worship and the High Altar boasts a splendid replica of Crucifix and six candle sticks from

one of the Spanish Cathedrals. The church has now been partially re-ordered with a westward-facing Nave Altar and a westward facing Altar in the “Lady Chapel”. Both Altars were consecrated by Bishop David Thomas in 2002. St Mary’s is in very good order and well maintained. St Mary’s also benefits from a vestry built inside the church, with sink, cupboards with good hanging space, and disabled toilet facilities. This is also used as a small function room and robing area St Mary’s hosts many fundraising events including fayres, Lenten lunches, concerts and film nights. It is also a distribution centre for the local Foodbank. 3.4 Church of St Dyfan & St Teilo

The church of St Dyfan and St Teilo has always been known by congregation and locals as Merthyr Dyfan Church. The church is situated north east of the town between Port Road East, Gibbonsdown and Colcot. The church itself lies in a secluded dell away from main roads and thoroughfares, accessed only by a lane which ends in a Cul-de-Sac. This is the only surviving remnant, in the centre of what was once the medieval village of Merthyr Dyfan.

St Dyfan & St Teilo is also a Grade II* listed building and can accommodate approximately 60 people. Whilst St Dyfan and St Teilo is a small church, it has held many Lenten lunches and other fundraising events.

5. The Town of Barry Walking around Barry is a wonderful way to discover more about the town and its fascinating history. It is also a seaside town, with a rac ons including several beaches and the resurrected Barry Island Pleasure Park. Barry was once a small village and its growth began in the late 19th Century, when the port of Barry was build. It cost some £2 million pounds and was designed to deal with the increasing worldwide demand for coal, at that time it was the largest enclosed port in the world. The Dock Office Building was built in 1899 and its design was that of Neo Baroque Renaissance style with a calendar theme, (365 windows, 12 porch panels, 31 step staircase, 52 marble fire places, 7 lights above the doors, 4 floors and 2 circular windows).

The decline of coal made way for the changing use of Barry’s port so a joint initiative with Associated Ports and Welsh Development Agency to create a multi-million pound regeneration programme , in the dockland area. This now houses a retail park, social and private housing, industrial units, and a large Medical Centre. Further expansion is planned, with a new waterfront development underway on the other side of the dock which is due to continue well into the next decade.

Roads and Networks Barry has a population of just under 55,000 (ONS 2016), and is well served in terms of access as it is on the M4 corridor (M4 link is just 10 miles away) and has good road, rail and coach access. It is just 7 miles from Cardiff. Cardiff Airport is only 5 miles west of the Ministry Area providing an excellent link to world travel and the road bridges into England are just 35 miles east. Education There are four comprehensive schools, (two Co-ed, Welsh language, and Roman Catholic). We have many infant and junior schools including a Church in Wales School on the west side of the town. There is also a school for special needs children within the town. Barry is home to the Cardiff and Vale College and has numerous community and adult learning centres.

Sports and Leisure Barry has a number of municipal parks. There is a multipurpose leisure centre in the centre of town which boasts a wide range of facilities, including a lifestyle fitness studio, health suite, squash and badminton courts and swimming pool. Barry also has good football and rugby grounds. Many of the schools also open their facilities for use of the general public. There is both a cricket and tennis club and many bowling clubs.

The Memorial Hall is situated in the centre of Barry, with an auditorium, which can hold over 1,000 people a popular venue for concerts, theatre and private functions. It is also the office of our Barry Town Council and Mayor. The Town Hall houses the central library and Art Central exhibition space. It is also the office of our Vale of Glamorgan Mayor.

Barry boasts a wide variety of restaurants, fine dining and food outlets. One of the latest developments is the Goodsheds which are situated at the Waterfront. It is a mixture of independent food and drink, boutique retail and lifestyle spaces. Health There is a Minor Injuries Unit based at Barry Hospital, numerous doctor surgeries and dental practices. There is a children’s hospice on the very edge of the east side of Barry which takes care of the needs of children with limited life and is well funded locally.
