St Joseph's Church, Port Talbot
The priest was the Benedictine Fr Charles Kavanagh; he came from St David's Priory Church in Swansea.In 1905, Fr Philip Kelly was the priest and a larger presbytery was built next to the church.[4] On 11 September 1930, the foundation stone for the current church was laid by the Archbishop of Cardiff, Francis Mostyn.The architect was Cyril Bates, who also built St Patrick's Church in Newport.At some point after the church's construction, the Benedictines handed over the parish to the Diocese of Menevia.
