The Diocese has given more guidance for our communities as we have now entered Step 4 of the Government’s route map out of lockdown. The guiding principles are :

• to continue to provide and be seen to provide safe environments in our places of worship and their ancillary buildings recognising the continuing presence of the virus in the population.
• We need to adopt an attitude of care for people who wish to attend Mass and build confidence across our communities that the church is a safe place to enter and worship.
• This necessitates maintaining a cautious approach to the relaxation of restrictions irrespective of the position under the law.

Live Streaming….this has been a very useful tool as we have journeyed through the pandemic. Sadly, it will no longer be available from 1st August onwards.

Many thanks to all of those who have acted as stewards over the last few months - without their commitment the church would not have been able to remain open.

Welcome to the family  of Henry Raphael Hamilton Chatwin  who is to be welcomed into the community of the Church during the 8.45am Mass.

St Teresa's Church is located in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom and is situated opposite Bekonscot Model Village - a local tourist attraction. To find us couldn't be easier - just follow the signs to the Model Village and they will lead you right into our car park, which visitors to Bekonscot are also permitted to use.

The church was built in 1926, the year after St Therese of Lisieux was canonised, and so was one of the first churches in England to be dedicated to her. It is built in neo-gothic style which gives it a traditional atmosphere as you can see from the pictures of the interior. But it is small enough to feel homely and, we hope, welcoming.

Our most illustrious parishioner was Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Many of the artefacts in the church are associated with him - including a statue of Our Lady - and the tower end of the church with its Martyrs Chapel was completed as a memorial to him.

Whether for a short visit or a long stay, we hope you will enjoying being part of our 'living community of faith".
