Merton Deanery

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark
We are a group of lay Catholics drawn from the parishes of Merton to offer support to the Dean on matters of ongoing formation. We also inform local churches of mutually interesting activities.

MERTON DEANERY

PASTORAL GROUP

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 Pastoral 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.

PUBLIC MASSES

Since the “Churches have been permitted to be open for public Masses from 11th July 2020, but to ensure adequate social distancing, the numbers permitted to attend each Mass are severely limited.  All the Deanery Parishes now open to celebrating Public Masses.
For further information please see individual parish websites.

DEANERY MISSION PRAYER

Father, we gather before you
and ask for your blessing
on our Deanery Mission.

Through the gift of your
Holy Spirit,
​come to us, remain in us
and enlighten our hearts.

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
