The 12^th September 2004 was an historic day in the life of the two parishes of "Penarth with Lavernock" and "Llandough with Leckwith", which  merged to form a new Benefice named the "Parish of Penarth and Llandough".

The Parish of Penarth and Llandough has three churches: St. Augustine’s, Holy Nativity and St. Dochdwy’s. It is an Anglo-Catholic parish by tradition and has numerous organisations with a varied and full events programme throughout the year.

All three churches are prominent landmarks in the community. St. Augustine’s is an imposing figure on the Penarth headland and can be seen for miles around. Holy Nativity is the first welcoming site as you enter Penarth under the railway bridge, with its belfry housing two bells. St. Dochdwy’s is situated on the top of Llandough hill and its distinctive tower can be seen nestled in the woodland from as far afield as Caerphilly Mountain.

Sadly, the third church in the former "Parish of Penarth with Lavernock", St. Laurence’s Church in Lavernock, has been recently closed.
