St. Theresa Parish

The parish started in the late 90s as an outstation of the Holy Family Cathedral. Fr. Salvadore Ferrao, SJ, who was then working at the Cathedral, noticed the potential of this outstation to become a full-fledged parish to serve the big number of children that were attending catechism classes and a few adults attending Sunday communion service. Fr. Salvadore’s view was also to initiate a parish in that part of Rumbek town where the priest(s) can serve as chaplains to hospitals, prisons, and educational institutions located in the area.
