St Theresa Church - Oakland (CA)

Ron Murray Its a beautiful church that exemplifies the true character of God. The Pastor and Bishop is a man that is well versed in the Word of God. The choir and musicians sound like angels in heaven. Go and experience it for yourself and without a doubt, your spirit will be renewed and refreshed, and you will be blessed.

Miriam Smith Ive been attending since the almost the beginning, and the church hasnt lost its focus even as its grown: to love Oakland as God has loved us. Its so heartwarming to be part of church that makes an effort to not only welcome all into the church to get to know this amazing God we follow but to purposefully, wholeheartedly, and unreservedly take God to Oakland.

Nikia B. This temple is a nice place to meditate to your christ consciousness. Quiet and spiritual. Also, a way to meditate to God.

Macadamian SuperBaller I really like the ambiance. It would be good for service to be longer. Im still adjusting to being able to eat something and drink coffee during service even though Im sure that Jesus is probably cool with it.

Brando Menjivar Such a welcoming, beautiful, and diverse community of people! The music is great, the energy is exciting, and free coffee and donuts is always a plus. Storyline is also a great place to bring your kids! My kids love being a part of StoryKids!

Brandon Brookshire An excellent parish that offers the Tridentine Mass. I am blessed to have such a traditional and beautiful parish so close to where I live. If you are within the area and are longing for reverence and orthodoxy, this parish is well worth the trip. An apostolate the Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priests, they offer the Tridentine Mass daily and twice on Sundays, and confession prior to every Mass.

R Onilozay RECOVERY MEETING FOR EMOTIONS... I attend (only) Recovery International meetings here (Mondays @ 12:30) which are wonderful. For those of us who need a community and help with our emotions of anxiety and / or anger. I learn so much that actually works and Ive made friends who understand, really understand. The format is a bit different from 12-step if youre used to that, so it took a few meeting s to get the flow so to speak. .. but it is an amazing tool Ive just added to my recovery. Meetings in the east bay are Monday here, Wed in Oakland also, Sat at Kaiser bldg off Howe & MacArthur @ 1:30. Please come the group is small. Look for the side red door. (I have no religious affiliation with the church).

Val Johns It a sacred place. Even though you can’t get inside the Temple, just walking on that ground people of any faith or not faith at all will feel peace. Beautiful scene and gardens. If you need a safe and peaceful place to meditate, pray, find answers in your head and heart. I do recommend you to visit it.
