St. Theresa, Theresa

Our Parish Roots:

St. Theresa Church was organized and named by Rev. Francis Xavier Schraudenback in 1849. The first church, a log framed chapel, was built about 1851. The present church was completed in 1880. The first school was built in 1866 but was destroyed in a fire of 1901. A new brick school was built shortly thereafter and the rectory built in 1914. St. Theresa Church went through a major renovation in 1964 after Vatican II and once again in 2017.

The School Sisters of St. Francis were active in St. Theresa’s parish from 1895-1974. In 2013, St. Theresa, St. Andrew and St. Mary came together in one faith to serve Christ.

Though small, St. Theresa remains and active and faith-filled congregation and continues, to this day, to be a vibrant community, living and proclaiming the Gospel.
