8th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Join us at our Saturday mass, at 4:30 p.m., in the Chapel located in the Education Building or on Zoom. The passcode to enter is: liturgy. Please mute yourselves upon entering. This week’s worship aid is found here.
These past few weeks have been difficult for a lot of us to hear in this time. Today’s readings are no different. Jesus talks about the blind leading the blind (for which he doesn’t see a good outcome), and he talks about prejudging others without realizing that we are broken, too. It is a good message for us to go forward into Lent this Wednesday as we move to Ash Wednesday and the following 6 weeks of reflection. How good is God to give us the opportunity to reflect on our past year’s behavior and to draw closer in discipleship!
Join us either in person at 12861 N. 8th Ave., Phoenix, or on Zoom to learn more.

Welcome!
St. Teresa of Ávila is united with many other authentic Catholic faith communities as a member of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion (ECC). The ECC is a "community of communities" that share a common theology and liturgical tradition with the Roman Catholic Church, but do not participate in its canon law. The "ECC Difference" can be seen in the inclusion of all baptized Christians at the Eucharistic table, respect for and recognition that the Spirit is at work in those of other religions, ordination of women and married individuals, offering of the sacrament of marriage to committed LGBT couples and those remarrying after divorce, invitation to follow conscience regarding birth control, and active/equal involvement of the laity in the governance of the Communion.
