Saint Teresa of Avila Parish is a diverse Catholic community
of faith that embraces everyone, without exception. We see
ourselves as uniquely able to engage in dialogue with people
of all faiths and act as peacemakers in our city. Challenged by
the Gospel, nourished by the Eucharist, and inspired by the
teachings of Saint Teresa of Avila, we are called to be witnesses
of Christ’s Love for the salvation of all people.
