The Mother Church of Trumbull

St. Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church


Saint Theresa Parish was originally founded on October 4, 1934 by Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe of Hartford. Aware of the spiritual needs of the people of Trumbull, the Bishop made Saint Theresa’s the first Catholic Church in Trumbull, and dedicated it in honor of Saint Theresa, the Little Flower of Jesus. Bishop McAuliffe dedicated the original small white frame church on September 22, 1935 so that Saint Theresa’s functioned as a true parish. The original church was a classic New England colonial design that could seat some four hundred people, and the neighboring McLevy homestead became the parish rectory. In 1960, Bishop Lawrence J. Shehan gave permission to construct the present cathedral-like granite and limestone church building, which was dedicated by Bishop Walter W. Curtis on April 1, 1962.

Today, Saint Theresa is considered the Mother Church of Trumbull and is currently blessed with over 3,100 parishioner families, and several active ministries. We invite you to join us for Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, or Devotions.

Centered around prayer, formation and fellowship, SOSJ helps men on their spiritual growth with the ultimate goal of becoming holy.

Founded in 2018, St. Theresa received a grant and LifeTeen subscription, allowing formation of our new Youth Ministry.

Everyday Fiat a group of women coming together to guide and inspire each other in a quest toward a deeper relationship with God.

The Music Ministry provides an opportunity for people of all ages to glorify God by developing and sharing the talents He has given.
