Welcome to the Church of St Thérèse

St. Thérèse Catholic Church has been a welcoming faith community since 1954 serving Portsmouth, the Western Branch of Chesapeake, Eastern Suffolk, and the surrounding area. Originally located on Oregon Avenue in Portsmouth, the church was relocated to its current home in 1972 to accommodate its growing congregation. The church was renovated and enlarged further in 1996, adding new worship, office, and fellowship spaces to support its vibrant and growing ministries.
