St Teresa of Avila Parish is a welcoming Catholic Church that has been serving the Summit community for over 160 years.

The sacred season of Advent is about more than just waiting and counting days to Christmas. It is an invitation to ready our hearts for the presence of Christ and give space for God to speak into our lives. Living Advent means embracing this invitation from God to draw closer to Him in a hurried world, deepen our prayer in the midst of the noise, and practice love beyond the season. When we live Advent well during these 25 days and longer, the joy of the Christmas season becomes not just a one-day celebration, but a way of life forward.
