Welcome
Our beautiful church, described by Bishop Ullathorne as “a perfect gem”, was built in 1849 and has served the Catholic community of Dorchester on Thames ever since — a parish whose history reaches back to the coming of St Birinus from Rome in AD 634.
Holy Mass is celebrated every day of the week, in English and in Latin, and everyone is very welcome. See our Mass and confession times, or read more about our church and its history.
Music at St Birinus
Liturgical music at St Birinus is provided by The Davey Consort, directed by Ryan Wigglesworth. The choir sings traditional Mass settings at the 11.00 am Sung Latin Mass on Sundays and on Feast Days.
Our Organ
Commissioned for St Birinus Church and designed and built by internationally renowned Master Organ Builder Bernard Aubertin, our organ is a beautiful instrument, entirely hand-crafted and designed to complement the restoration of the sanctuary.
