Baptisms

The baptism of a child, sometimes called a Christening, recognises that every child is a previous gift, made in God’s image and likeness.

We would love to help organise a baptism with you, which is open to anyone at any stage in life.

About

 St John’s is the ancient church of the former Parish of Radyr, almost 800 years old, though it was much altered in the Victorian period. We believe it stands on the site of an ancient wayside shrine – the prayer place (aradur) which gives the parish its name. The yew tree outside the main door may be a thousand years old.

Until the 1970s St John’s was a little country church, surrounded by farmland. Now it is in the middle of a large private housing estate, and the old farm house, the Radyr Court, is now a full time children’s Nursery and a welcoming cafe.
