The Saint Theresa parish was founded in August of 1923, four months after St. Theresa was beatified. Through the efforts of pastors and parishioners it grew into a place for thousands of visitors and pilgrims.
The original outdoor shrine and an open air altar were built between 1927 and 1928. Since then outdoor, granite, Stations of the Cross were erected.
Stone Scala Sancta patterned after the Holy stairs which Jesus ascended and descended during his passion lead to a reproduction of the Limpias Crucifix and a shrine of candles.
Under the Holy Stairs is a room of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Mother and the tomb of Jesus.
Near the Tomb is the Garden of the Resurrection
The outdoor wooden chapel was replaced with a new chapel made of Vermont granite and marble.
Parishioners added a 15 decade living Rosary with a statue of Our Lady of Peace.
The Knights of Columbus erected a Pieta shrine.
There are many events held through the year including the annual saint Theresa feast day which is held on the 3rd Sunday of August.
