5th Sunday of Lent
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.
Look around at the things occurring today. People are quick to cast stones. I guess they believe that they are on the right side of God and feel privileged to point out others’ sins. Jesus tells us in today’s readings and in other places in the gospels that everyone has sinned. That doesn’t mean that we cannot and should not point out the many atrocities we see in the world and in this country. It does mean that we don’t resort to violence in doing it.
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.
