About the parish of St Dunstan's

Before that time local Catholics had to travel to Bath or Knowle, so in spite of the small numbers of Catholics in the area the Bishop decided that there should be a church in Keynsham. From 2004 the church underwent much renovation and in 2009 a beautiful mural of the of the tree of life was commissioned for the Sanctuary Wall by the American/Argentinian muralist Marcelo Lavalen in time for Easter 2009. The mysteries of the Old and New Testament are depicted in the form of birds in the Tree. In September 2009 Marcelo returned to England to paint a vibrant mural of Christ in Majesty in the Eastern Iconographic style.

St Dunstan’s is a friendly and welcoming parish that has close links with the local community and with other local Christian churches. Through our worship, ministries and outreach, we aim to be a parish that embodies the words of our parish vision, “In the Name of Jesus: Welcomed, Loved, Sent”.
