What should I wear?
How we dress conveys respect and honor. When you dress appropriately for Mass, it tells God that He is worth the effort and He deserves our best. As long as your heart is here for Jesus, your clothing should be what makes you feel your best for God. If a suit and tie feels respectful to you, please do so. If you are more present and less self-conscious in casual dress attire, then do so. We want you to come for your spiritual growth, not your attire.
How do I get to St. Therese?

Great News!! St. Therese offers hearing aid assistance
St. Therese Church is now equipped with a hearing assistance system to assist parishioners participate better at Mass. Please Click Here to find out more information.
I’m not Catholic ... so, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?
It can feel uneasy when you are unsure when to kneel, sit, and stand during Mass. In reality, these actions have great symbolism and are designed purposefully. Once Mass is well-understood, these actions make much more sense and visitors can easily join in.
I’m not Catholic ... is it okay for me to participate in communion?
Although we would love to extend an invitation to all to join in the Eucharistic Communion, however, unfortunately our Catholic beliefs regarding the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist are quite different than other denominations. We continue to pray that one day we will all be able to join in at one Eucharistic Table.
Am I expected to put money in the offering?
In order to provide a beautiful space to worship, we need continued support from our parishioners for our building upkeep and for our ministry both in the church and in our local community.
