St Theresa Catholic Church

About this church

St. Theresa Catholic Church at 18-1355 Volcano Road in Mountain View serves the Puna district together with Holy Rosary Mission Church in Keaʻau. The parish’s local story is unusually visible: St. Theresa was built in 1932 and established in 1934, and its interior includes a distinctive hand-painted ceiling and side panels. Holy Rosary, built in 1910, is known for traditional sacred architecture, strong acoustics, and a pipe organ. Visitors should use the parish’s current bulletin or homepage for Mass times, which were not reliably exposed in the accessible page text.

Parish life includes sacramental worship, prayer, Catholic formation, and opportunities for teenagers and young adults. The youth ministry serves grades nine through twelve and seeks to involve students in both church life and work in the wider community, with parents included in the formation process. The official beliefs material introduces Catholic prayer and links parishioners with broader Catholic news and teaching. For someone researching this congregation, the key distinction is that one parish community worships across two historic sites. Confirm whether a particular Mass or event is at St. Theresa in Mountain View or Holy Rosary in Keaʻau before setting out.
