The Archbishop of Cardiff-Menevia is the ordinary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia.[1]
It previously was called the Archbishop of Cardiff,[2][3] whose archdiocese covered an area of 1,183 square miles (3,060 km2) and spanned the historic counties of Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and eastern Glamorganshire. The metropolitan see of the previous archdiocese was in the city of Cardiff where the archbishop's seat was located at the Metropolitan Cathedral Church of St David.
With the exception of the second archbishop, Francis Mostyn, born in Flintshire and of local descent, the Welsh connections of the archbishops have been extremely weak. Ireland, London and the English provinces have supplied a majority.
The see is currently held by Mark O'Toole, the 1st Archbishop of Cardiff-Menevia. He was originally the 8th and last Archbishop of Cardiff, who was appointed by the Holy See on 27 April 2022 and installed at St David's Cathedral, Cardiff on 20 June 2022.[4]
