The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
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:
As the liturgical year draws to a close, the church includes yearly warning that this life on earth is transient, a trial run for all eternity. We are reminded that Jesus is not the king of nation states, but a servant who comes to redeem and inspire all humanity. He is a shepherd, a ruler of human hearts, and a king of truth and justice. Is this the year we will finally pay attention, surrender our dependence on temporal success and respond with the witness of our faithful lives?

Want to donate to St. Teresa of Avila Ecumenical Catholic Community? Simply go to your bank's website and click on transfer funds. Most banks use Zelle as an option. Click on that and then enter the contact you wish to send to. Once you do it, the contact will reappear so you can send again. The contact name is St. Teresa of Avila Ecumenical Catholic Church and the mobile token (must be correct as Zelle does not reimburse if you send it to the wrong place) is (602) 509-4446. You will get an email afterward from your bank noting the transfer.
We need your help! Parishes are expensive to operate. We have rent, insurance, staff, music licences, advertising, the materials used in liturgies, tithes to the greater ECC, and staff to pay. With the end of the year looming, I ask that you search your heart to see if there is room in your charitable giving to remember St. Teresa of Avila Ecumenical Catholic Community.
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.
