Santa Teresa de Avila is part of the Catholic family of churches in The American Church Story. 1,056 congregations of the Catholic family gather across Illinois — 18,927 across the United States on The Church Map.
From the Catholic Church the whole body received the canon of Scripture, the creeds still recited every Sunday in traditions that never look to Rome, and monasteries that kept learning and Scripture alive through a thousand unlit years. Its parishes remain the largest network of schools, hospitals, and shelters in America, most of them serving people who will never attend a Mass.

The community around Santa Teresa de Avila
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. About a third of working-age adults live without health insurance, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor.
