St. Teresa of Avila parish is called to be an evangelized and evangelizing community of believers who bear witness to Jesus Christ present in our midst.
We seek to lead all people to a personal and life changing encounter with the Risen Lord through the Word proclaimed, the Sacraments celebrated, and the community gathered in prayer and thanksgiving.
Seeking not to conform to this world but to transform it by the liberating power of the Gospel, we proclaim Christ in our worship, in our educational efforts, in our recreation, in our defense of the powerless and in our loving service to all members of the wider community in which we reside.
Rooted in our rich African American heritage, our deep Catholic faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit, we put all of our unique gifts, talents, and energies at the disposal of this one and greatest of causes: Winning the world to Christ in the new millennium.
