Our Lady of Ransom and the Holy Souls Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Llandrindod Wells. It was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1907. It was rebuilt in 1972.[1] Its original foundation was the only church the Jesuits built in central Wales.
History
The Jesuits came to Llandrindod Wells from St Beuno's College near St Asaph and set up a Mass centre in 1907. Masses were originally held in the old presbytery.[1]
Later, at some point in the 20th century, the Jesuits handed over the administration of the church to the Diocese of Menevia who continue to serve the parish.[2]
In 1972, a new church was built on Victoria Road, where it still continues to function.[3]
Parish
The church is the centre of the Llandrindod Wells Deanery. It has Sunday Mass at 11:00am.[2]
