 At St Teresa’s, the combined Rites of Acceptance and Welcoming are celebrated with inquirers and candidates. The Rite of Acceptance marks the official entry of the unbaptised into the Order of Catechumens, signifying their intention to join the Church and the Church’s acceptance of them. The Rite of Welcoming is intended for those who have been baptised but have not previously received catechetical instruction, acknowledging their membership in the community and offering them support as they commence their preparation.
Both rites are typically celebrated during a Mass at St Teresa’s. On the feast of Christ, the King - 23rd November, 11am Mass - we will welcome and accept the 2025/2026 RCIA cohort. Please pray for them as they embark on their journey of faith. Monday 1st December, 7:00pm – Farm Street Church, W1K 3AH. As we begin our preparations for Advent and reflect on the Holy Family’s flight into exile, join the Jesuit Refugee Service for an evening of carols and a special performance by their refugee music group.
Each Sunday during term time, an organised Children’s Liturgy will take place at the 11am Mass. The aim is to share the message of Christ with children in a way they can understand and enjoy. At the start of Mass, children are invited to go with the leaders to the Parish Hall, where they take part in prayers, hymns, and a child-friendly Gospel reading. They discuss its meaning through conversation and activities before returning to church for the Offertory.
We welcome new helpers—please contact Canon Michael or Deacon Con if interested. Therefore, we need to remember that:
