St.Theresa Catholic Church in Corpus Christi, Texas

Welcome to St. Theresa Catholic Church Church

St. Theresa Catholic Church A Welcoming Community

On April 13, 1947, Saint Theresa Catholic Church was founded with 50 families at start. With the love and the bond that they came together and the school was first built in 1948 under Bishop Emmanuel Ledvina following the donation of 12-acres of land by the Dunn family. The school was first built and served as a temporary chapel.

Staffed by the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, the school was opened in September 1949 with 120 students and somehow was closed in 1992. By 1951, a parish community of 50 families grew to 723 people. The Church and the rectory were built in 1959 under Bishop Mariano S. Garriga.

There are at least 14 pastors taking shelter to minister this almost 80-year-life parish community. Under the words of a pastor, Father Don Downey, Saint Theresa parish is “the greatest-the most generous, most loving, most willing to give, and that is tremendous. The parishioners have great affection for the parish; this is their parish, and they really want to serve and support, and that’s marvelous.”

As with every other parish—big, small, rich, poor, or in between—that is the perpetual quest. Even though we are in a small size, with opened arms and hearts to welcome you to come to visit our parish, where it is our hope that you will encounter the little ways of Saint Theresa that lead her to the great love of God.

Whether you are a long-time church goer or a newcomer to the life of faith, we pray that your time here will be richly blessed and come back to be a part of our faith community. Should you consider becoming a member of our parish, you can tab the contact tab where you will find the new parishioner registration form that you can place in the Sunday Collection or bring it to the parish office. If you have any questions or you would like to have a clergy to come for a visit, please feel free to contact us. May God bless you always.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Joseph T. Nguyen
