I’m New
Plan Your Visit
Whether it’s your first Mass ever or your first at St. Theresa — here is everything you need to walk in relaxed and ready to pray.
What to expect
- Come as you are — there is no dress code. Most people dress modestly and comfortably.
- Mass lasts about an hour: readings from Scripture, a homily, and the Eucharist. Follow along; nobody minds a newcomer.
- Not Catholic, or not receiving Communion? You’re warmly welcome to remain seated or come forward for a blessing (arms crossed over your chest).
- Curious what everything means? See The Mass explained.
Getting here
4311 Small Drive, Austin, TX 78731
Our church and school share a 22-acre wooded campus in Northwest Hills. Enter from Small Drive and turn left at the stop sign into the main parking lot — the church is straight ahead.
Say hello
Stop by the Welcome Desk in the narthex — staffed before and after weekend Masses. Someone there will answer questions, point you anywhere, and help you feel at home.
Bringing little ones?
Children are always welcome at Mass. The Parish Nursery (6 months – 3 years) is available during the 9:00 am and 11:00 am sunday masses; opens 15 minutes early in the Family Center, southwest corner — and Liturgy of the Word with Children serves K–5 during Sunday morning Mass.
