St Alban-on-the-Moors, Roman Catholic church in Splott, Wales

The church building features a central rectangular tower with castellated parapets and an octagonal west tower with pyramidal roof made of pennant sandstone.

Built in 1911 by architect F R Bates from Newport, this structure replaced an earlier iron church constructed in 1891 using parts from Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral.

The Cardiff Oratory administers regular services in multiple forms, including Usus Recentior, Usus Antiquior, and Ordinariate Use masses in English and Latin.

Located at 10 meters elevation, the church holds daily Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and maintains regular Mass schedules throughout the week.

A first-class relic of Saint Alban was permanently installed in the church during a ceremonial event attended by the Abbot of Farnborough in 2021.
