YOUTH

St. Teresa's welcomes young people to be a part of all areas of Parish life. They participate as Readers, ministers of Holy Communion, Welcomers, Collectors, and the Choir. We welcome many students from home and abroad each year to our parish. They study at the University of the West of England and Bristol University. Fr. Tom is the RC Chaplain at the University of the West of England and there is Mass every Thursday at 5pm in the Octagon Building on Frenchay Campus. (Term time only)
