100th Jubilee

On October 15,1925, Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna officially announced the establishment of new parish in Oakland, Saint Theresa, “Church of the Little Flower of Jesus.” We will be celebrating our 100^th Jubilee Year throughout 2025, honoring our founders, the priests and religious who advanced the parish, and the generations of parishioners whose contributions led us to this amazing milestone.

The Parish 100th Jubilee Planning Committee has been working to develop a calendar of inclusive celebratory events throughout 2025. These events will be both religious celebrations and social gatherings for parishioners and school families. Check out the Events and save the dates of the activities you want to attend!

The Parish 100th Jubilee Planning Committee is still planning new activities, and we need your help with these events. If you want to assist with some of these festivities or have ideas about a new activity, please contact the 100^th Anniversary Planning Committee: [email protected]

Parish Photo Directory

In celebration of the 100th jubilee of St. Theresa Parish, we will publish a new photo directory in 2025!

All parish families and individuals are asked to participate in this initiative, and we'd love to see you included in this directory to commemorate this vibrant moment in our history.

All who are photographed receive a free photo directory, a free 8x10 portrait of your family, and a free photography session. You are able to purchase additional prints if you choose.

Feel free to include extended family such as grandparents, etc.

Photography sessions will take place on site at the Parish on August 28, 29, and 30. More sessions will be added as needed.
