New St. Teresa's Priest

​We are very pleased to announce that a new Parish Priest has been appointed for St. Teresa’s.  His name is Fr. Michael Scanlon who is currently Parish Priest at St. Mary's in West Croydon.

Father Michael will be known to many families as he has been closely involved in the Confirmation program.  Father Michael will start at St. Teresa’s Church on the weekend of 1st and 2nd December and he is looking forward to meeting us all.

Please pray for Father Michael as he prepares to lead us in our continued journey of faith.

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

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.

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
