ST CATHERINE'S CHURCH IS HERE TO BE
AN
EXLPOSION OF JOY
EXLPOSION OF JOY
We do this by having a joy-filled expression of faith. If the Kingdom of God is a banquet party,
then we want people to see the good news in our community life, both inside and outside of the building.

BY MAKING
JESUS KNOWN
Everything we do has a clear communication of who Jesus is.
Jesus isn't an afterthought, but the very reason that we do everything that we do!

Tuesday Tea Time Bible Chat Join Charl and Trish as we wind down from our day with tea and toast and a bit of Bible chat. No expertise needed, just a desire to think about the Bible and how it can inform how we choose to live today. 17:30, every first and third Tuesday of the month (term time only) at St Catherine's, Pontypridd. Everyone is welcome! |

Ponty Pantry & Kitchen
Our Ponty Pantry food recycling scheme is available to all!
Every Sunday and Tuesday, local Supermarkets donate their excess stock for us to redistribute throughout the community. The Pantry Kitchen is a weekly community cafe where you will receive a warm welcome and sit amongst friends you haven't met yet! Enjoy an array of hot snacks - our fresh homemade soup is the best in Ponty (in our opinion!). or sample one of our delicious home-baked cakes. |

PONT
Partnership Overseas Networking Trust Jesus asked us to 'love our neighbours as ourselves', and at St Catherine's, we have the best neighbours in the world! We are twinned with Bishop Wasikyes Memorial Church in Namatala, West Uganda. We have an awesome relationship with the church and visit them as often as we can. |

|
The Tower When you think of Ponty, you think of St Cath's spire! Our tower is iconic and an important part of Ponty's heritage - but it is more than just a landmark. We have a dedicated team of bell ringers who love to fill the air with the sweet sound of music. Have you ever wanted to try bellringing? Come and meet the team, we'd be happy to show you the ropes. |
