Greetings!
 I am Fr. Tom Babu, Pastor here and welcome to Saint Teresa of Avila Parish!  I am delighted to have you visit our website to learn more about our parish family.  At Saint Teresa of Avila Parish, we are committed to welcoming and supporting every parishioner to become a disciple of Christ, building God’s Kingdom through our prayer, service and outreach to others in faith. We strive to bring to life the words of our mission: “We are called to love one another and to share our gifts of time, talent, and resources to welcome and to bring our faith to all people.”  Working together, we seek to build a strong parish community where all feel welcome and inspired by the Gospel to live Jesus’ mission with faith, hope and love.  I invite and encourage you to connect with the members and ministries of our parish community and look forward to meeting you personally.
 
Saint Teresa of Avila Parish has been in service to the community in the pursuit of serving God since 1860! We try to keep the Parish moving ahead with technology and convenience for our Parishioners, and have just rolled out a brand new OnLine Giving program to make it so very easy to make regular and special offerings to Saint Teresa. We are on Facebook and have the Parish App where you can find us.

If there is anything we can do to help you in your journey with God, please do not hesitate to contact me, or our parish team. You can find many of our contacts on the staff page here on our website.
 
Our parish seeks to offer as many opportunities for parishioners to come together in faith as possible. If there is a personal or family need that arises, please know that our parish staff is always available to assist you in any way we can.  I pray that you may find warmth, encouragement and spiritual growth in our parish here in Carson City and I look forward to getting to know you personally in the weeks and months ahead when we gather around the Altar to celebrate our Faith. Most importantly, please make worship at one of our six weekend masses a regular part of your life. The Holy Eucharist is the lifeblood of the community where are fed by our Lord in Word and Eucharist and where we form deeper bonds with one another and become a family. You are a part of the body of Christ and every part is valued and needed.
 
May God bless you and your family in your journey of Faith.  
 
Sincerely yours in Christ, 
 
Fr. Tom Babu
