Francis Edward Joseph Mostyn (August 6, 1860—October 25, 1939) was a Welsh prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Cardiff from 1921 until his death.

Biography

Francis Mostyn was born in Talacre, as the fourth son of Sir Pyers Mostyn, 8th Baronet (1811-1882) (see Mostyn Baronets) and Frances Georgina Graser (d. 1899), and was ordained to the priesthood on September 14, 1884.

On July 4, 1895, he was appointed the first Apostolic Vicar of Wales and Titular Bishop of "Ascalon" by Pope Leo XIII. Mostyn received his episcopal consecration on the following September 14 (the ninth anniversary of his priestly ordination) from Herbert Cardinal Vaughan, with Bishops John Carroll and John Hedley, OSB serving as co-consecrators.

He was later named Bishop of Menevia upon his vicariate's elevation to a diocese on May 14, 1898. On March 7, 1921, Mostyn was appointed Archbishop of Cardiff by Pope Benedict XV, leading the only archdiocese in Wales.

He later died at the age of 79, having served as Archbishop for eighteen years.
