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.

FOOD for FAMILIESÂ
A huge thank you to all who contributed to Food for Families at Easter… we distributed 2 large boxes packed with food to 65 families in our Deanery. If you could help in any way, please contact Julie juliemalunn@btinternet.com. We’re a really friendly team and would love your involvement!
What is Food for Families? Staff at our small village schools, Clehonger, Clifford, Ewyas Harold, Kingstone, Longtown, Madley, Michaelchurch Escley and Peterchurch are ideally placed to know the families who most need the food boxes, to help them through the holidays.
Who supports Food for Families? Food and donations come from people in our villages and also from some local businesses, farmers, village charities and Parish Councils. There are no administrative costs as the venture is entirely run by a team of volunteers.Â
