Welcome to St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Parish

We warmly welcome you to St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Parish. Born from two of the oldest Parishes in Chicagoland, our unified community is a unique and welcoming Roman Catholic Parish in the heart of Chicago’s Chinatown and Bridgeport neighborhoods. We invite you to explore our website, get to know our communities, and join us in person at one of our many celebrations!
A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM FR. FRANCIS LI

Greetings and a warm welcome from the St. Barbara and St.Therese churches of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta parish Family!

Through Renew My Church, St. Therese Chinese Catholic Church and School, and St. Barbara Catholic Church and School have been united into one canonical parish and school. “We are no longer two, but one.” With so much history and tradition, our unified parish is a unique and welcoming Roman Catholic Parish in the heart of Chicago’s Chinatown, and Bridgeport neighborhoods. As two of the oldest Parishes in Chicagoland, both of our historic and well-maintained worship sites are over 100 years old. Recently we installed air conditioning and a church lift for people who have difficulty handling stairs at St. Therese church, and updated our famously designed and spacious sanctuary at St. Barbara as well.

I invite you to explore our website, get to know our communities, check out our calendar of events and new mass schedule. We look forward to meeting you in person at one of our celebrations. As we continue both the rewarding and challenging journey of Renew My Church, I humbly ask you to keep us in your prayers as I continue to pray for you.

I look forward to meeting you in person!

God Bless,
Father Francis Li, Pastor
