United in Christ in South West Herefordshire

Abbeydore Deanery is a Christian grouping of 35 churches in 33 parishes.

From Hay-on-Wye and Hereford in the north to the Black Mountains of Wales and Brecon Beacons National Park in the south. Four priests supported by lay and ordained volunteers serve a community of about 12,000 people.

We welcome all those who live and work in the area, and all those who visit or come on holiday here. We hope that you will find friendship, comfort, support and peace along with opportunities to dig deeper into the mysteries of God, and to broaden your spiritual horizons. Above all we hope that here you will find Christ’s love and hope. And if you have enjoyed stepping over our virtual threshold, we do hope that you will want to step over the actual one as well.
