About St. Theresa · Mankato, Kansas
St. Theresa Parish in Mankato, Kansas, was founded in 1949 after years of Catholic worship held in homes. Construction of a basement church began that year and was later replaced by a new church in 1959. The parish has grown from a small community of about 13 Catholics in the early 1940s to a thriving parish with a current pastor and active ministries. It remains part of the Catholic Diocese of Salina, which was established in 1887.
