St. Theresa of Avila Parish
St. Theresa of Avila Parish is a large Roman Catholic parish located in the Boston neighborhood of West Roxbury. In 1995 the Parish celebrated its centennial anniversary adopting as our theme "Saint Theresa Parish: Beginning our Second Century of Faith, Worship, and Service." This theme well describes life in our parish. We are a community bound together by our shared faith in God. We gather weekly, and for many, daily, in worship. We take very seriously our call to discipleship and our obligation to service. Our faith and our worship give us the grace and commitment to go into the world as followers of Jesus Christ. Please come visit our beautiful church and join us for Mass.
Reconciliation: Confessions are heard in the Chapel on Saturday afternoons, 3 - 4 p.m. and on the Thursday before First Friday, 4:30 - 5:00 p.m.
Baptism is celebrated on the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 1:15 p.m. in the Chapel. A preparation meeting for parents and Godparents is held on the Friday evening prior to the second Sunday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the Chapel. Parents are asked to contact the Parish House at least two weeks before the Baptism. If you are expecting your first child, or are new to the parish, please contact the Parish House one month before your baby's due date. Baptism is the sacrament of welcome into the community of faith. For this reason, and because of the large number of Baptisms at Saint Theresa's each year, the parish cannot offer private Baptisms.
Marriage: Couples planning to be married at Saint Theresa's should make an appointment with one of the priests at least six months prior to the wedding date.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults: The RCIA is a formation process involving both liturgical and educational opportunities for adults seeking membership in the Catholic Church. The RCIA is for the unbaptized, for those baptized in other Christian churches, and for Catholics who have been baptized but have not yet received Eucharist, Penance or Confirmation. For further information contact the Religious Education Office.
Music Ministry in St. Theresa’s is a vital part of our liturgical and community life. We are about to resume our regular rehearsals in preparation for Parish Masses and other special events. Please consider joining one of our choirs or the cantor ministry!
We eagerly welcome new and returning members to join our ministry in song on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the choir room.
