We are an Anglican parish within the Diocese of Llandaff in the Church in Wales.  Our parish consists of 2 places of worship, All Saints’ Church and St. Baruc’s Church, Barry Island.  This website contains a great deal of information about our Churches, their worship, their busy clubs and societies, their history and forthcoming events. 

 

We, as a parish, are also closely linked with All Saints' Church School. If you are interested in a Christian education for your primary school aged child please follow the link for more information.

We invite you to explore our website and hope you enjoy doing so.

centenary '08


centenary preparations

It is with great excitement that we can announce the centenary of All Saints’ Church on April 29th 2008.  It was on this date in 1908 that the nave of All Saints’ Church was dedicated and when it effectively became a place of worship.  The now dominant tower and chancel were added later but it is the initial opening of All Saints that we will be celebrating this year.

Commemorative mugs are now available from Church wardens at a cost of £5 each.  Keep watching for further information about commemorative items available and specific centenary events.
