Parish History
We operate out of 3 different church buildings.
In the late 1590s or early 1600s, a small church was built at Blaengwrach, Y Capel Fach, which is now called St Mary's. It was part of the grouping of churches with Glyncorrwg, a good walk over the mountain.
St Cadoc's, Aberpergwm in Glynneath was established around 1810 as a private chapel but became its own parish church in. There is some evidence that there was a church building in the vicinity prior to this date.
In 1850 a Victorian church was built for Resolven, called St David's and was originally part of the same grouping as Blaengwrach. In 1892 Resolven became a separate parish and in 1940 Blaengwrach became attached to St Cadoc's in Glynneath forming the parish of Aberpergwm with Blaengwrach.
In 2004, as part of a diocesan plan to group parishes, the Vale of Neath Parish was formed from all three churches.
