At St. Teresa, we pray you always feel welcome, loved, and part of our parish community. We have a long history of family and fellowship. As you come to know the people of St. Teresa, we encourage you to participate in the parish activities and gatherings that God uses to unite us as a community. The Sunday bulletin is a great way to see what’s going on. And be sure to contact the parish office if your email or phone number changes so we can send you friendly reminders about Holy Days and other parish activities.
