Saint Theresa of Avila Church in Rhodelia, Kentucky, was founded in 1818. In its 203 year history, 97 Sisters of Charity of Nazareth faithfully served our community. One cannot think of Saint Theresa Parish, without thinking of the contribution of this community of Sisters which itself was founded in 1812.
One of the things we are trying to do in our new effort to turn the now-closed Saint Theresa/Cross Roads School into the new Saint Theresa Family Life Center is to educate the next generation about their contribution and to make sure that contribution is remembered. We are working on a beautiful historic photo gallery in the old school's long hallway featuring their interactions with the pastors and people of our community. One of the features of that photo gallery is a list of every Sister of Charity who served our people - all 97 of them. See the list below.
