The "New" Reredos

Parish Churches
The parish historically consists of three churches from where our mission and ministry extends. Take a look at the parish's three very important church buildings that boast a place in the hearts-and-minds of many people living in Port Talbot (not forgetting our parish family and friends from around the world too).

Saint Theodore's
Holy Cross

Saint Peter's
Parish Projects

The parish has undertaken several fundraising projects since 1996. Mainly focused on the bricks-and-mortar of the parish, bringing the building stock right up into the 21st century. See for yourselves, the amazing results of the Restoration, the new Youth Hall building and the redeveloped Parish Hall.

The reredos installed in Saint Theodore's Church in 2007

The 'new' St. Theodore reredos was moved from its previous home in St. James the Great, Cardiff to St. Theodore's Church where it was unveiled on St. Theodore's Day, 19th September 2007. Little is known about the provinence of the reredos apart from a pencil inscription on the back which suggests it originated in London and was installed in St. James the Great in 1921.

The ornate detailing of the reredos can be seen by visiting St. Theodore's church and seeing it for yourself - but we have put together a small gallery to give you an idea of the work and craftsmanship that must have gone into creating it.

The central focal point of the reredos is Christ the King - either side featuring ten Welsh saints. The bottom section features three iconic images of Christ.
