St Teresa of the Child Jesus

Music and liturgy

The choir was positioned upstairs, directed by Kath Howell, with Philomena Brothers serving as organist. Margaret Norrington serves as organist and assists with choir leadership alongside Pat, while David Wheeler and Dominic Rodrigues coordinate the Folk Group. In the first year of his tenure, the parish priest reintroduced daily Mass, regular Adoration and Confessions, and installed live streaming.

Parish life

The Roundabout Players started in 1983 who gave concerts, cabaret, plays etc., lasting 12 years. At Your Word Lord, run by Alice Cowan, brought many people together spiritually, and social life returned with the start of the Social Committee run by Betty and Bernard Donovan, Terry Cryer, Pam Bertolotti and Bernie and Tom Small. The parish's mission includes ecumenical dialogue with partner churches: St Anselms, Church of England, and Hatch End Free Church. The parish's mission includes awareness of issues relating to justice and peace in the world and in society.

The parish celebrates the feast of St Theresa of the Child Jesus on 1 October. The church is located near Headstone Lane and Hatch End stations.

Sacraments and pastoral care

The parish accompanies people in their Christian journey from baptisms to weddings, visiting the sick to funerals. The parish can offer a Mass for intentions, such as for someone who has died, a special anniversary, or as a thanksgiving. The parish needs catechists for programmes such as First Holy Communion, Confirmation and RCIA.
