Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to St Theresa?

Sugar Land, Texas 77498. Here is a map.

Where should I park?

Check out the map above.  Handicap Parking is near the chapel entrance to the church, main parking is in front of the parish offices and school and across St. Theresa Blvd. in the Knights of Columbus parking lot.  Street parking is also available but please be careful not to park in a fire lane.

I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?

There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of the our parishioners. However, we do have worship aids located in each pew that provide you with the order of the mass, the postures, and the words to each prayer. If you don't see a worship aid in your pew, ask an usher, and they will be happy to bring you one.

May I receive Holy Communion?

Communion, or the Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the Body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest during the Mass. If you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive Holy Communion. If you are a Catholic who has been away from the Faith for a while, please go to Confession before receiving Holy Communion.  Anyone who is not able to receive is invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing or to remain seated in their pew.

Am I expected to put money in the offering?

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here.  Click Here to donate online.
