Advent and Christmas 2020
After a difficult year, we're preparing to celebrate Advent to it's fullest.
We're delighted to be part of Church in Wales #DarknessIntoLight Advent campaign, which aims to draw people to the light we find in Christ’s message of salvation.
In this special edition of Llandaff Matters, we invite you to be part of our biggest Advent celebration yet.
Be inspired. Bear the torch. Be a light to others.
