Carmarthen Deanery Explained

The Carmarthen Deanery is a Roman Catholic deanery in the Diocese of Menevia that covers several churches in Carmarthenshire and the surrounding area.^[1] In the early 2010s, the Aberystwyth Deanery was dissolved and the church in Lampeter became part of the Carmarthen Deanery.
