Gareth Leyshon: Home Page Gareth's face

Welcome to my home page. I am a priest of the Archdiocese of Cardiff, ordained on May 5th 2007.

On this website you will find a collection of resources I've put on-line: theological writings, liturgical planning sheets and in particular, my critique of the 'New Age' from a Catholic perspective. I hope the information here is useful to you; please note the Disclaimer.

The following may be of interest: a personal statement on the practice of calling priests 'father' together with a sermon given 29/30 October 2011, and a deeper theological treatment of the matter.
