WELCOME

Welcome to the Merton Deanery website. We are one of 20 Deaneries in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. Each parish is the sacred space where we experience Church and encounter the person of Christ.
"The whole purpose of the Church
is to illuminate the person of Christ -
the whole purpose of your parish
is to facilitate that illumination"
​Richard Gaillardetz
​Our eight parishes are:
  1. ​St Joseph’s, Colliers Wood
  2. Our Lady of the Assumption, Tooting
  3. St Teresa’s, Morden
  4. St John Fisher, Merton
  5. SS Peter & Paul, Mitcham
  6. St Winefride’s, Wimbledon South
  7. Christ the King, Wimbledon Park
  8. Sacred Heart, Wimbledon​

The Merton Deanery Mission team welcome any suggestions, ideas or themes which we can explore and celebrate together among our parishes. May the Good News always be our guide.

Rev. Dr. John Mulligan
Dean of Merton

Give us light and strength
to know your will,
to make it our own
and to live it in our lives.
We ask this through
​Christ Our Lord.
​Amen
