North Gwent Deanery Explained

The North Gwent Deanery, a Roman Catholic deanery in the Archdiocese of Cardiff in Wales, covers several churches in North Gwent and the surrounding area.^[1] In the early 2000s, the Head of the Valleys deanery was split. The churches in its western part, in the county boroughs of Merthyr Tydfi and Rhondda Cynon Taf, became part of the Pontypridd Deanery and the churches in its eastern part, in the county borough of Blaenau Gwent, became part of the North Gwent Deanery.

The dean is centred at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Newbridge, Caerphilly.^[2]
