Bishop Gregory said: “The coronation of His Majesty King Charles III will be a joyful and historic national occasion and I look forward to joining with people from across the diocese to offer our contribution.
"We know His Majesty bears a heavy responsibility and I’ll be offering our prayers and support to him and Queen Camilla at this time.”
New prayers have been written and issued by the Church in Wales which can be used in services across the diocese to mark the coronation.
The prayers are available in both Welsh and English.
Bishop Gregory added: “The Bench of Bishops of the Church in Wales wishes to encourage our churches to pray for the King, the Royal Family, our nation and the Commonwealth at this time and is pleased to commend the liturgical resources.”
