About St. Therese Parish

St. Therese Church was built in 1926. It serves not only the surrounding neighborhoods but people from all over the Seattle area. St. Therese traditionally has attracted many persons from beyond the geographical boundaries of the parish with its liturgy, its music, its active laity, its small size, and its big spirit. The faith community is racially, culturally, and economically diverse.
