If you are ever fortunate enough to pass through the doors of the Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux, there are a few things you should expect:
One, you should expect to feel completely at home ~ man, woman, child. You are home when you are here.
Two, you should expect to see others just like you ~ gay, straight, or any other way you identify. No one is excluded here.
Three, you should expect to see a volunteer clergy who receive no compensation for their dedication, service, and commitment to their congregation.
Four, you should expect to see women serving alongside their male counterparts as ordained Deacons, Ministers and even married Priests.
Five, you should expect to see divorcees partaking in all the rituals and blessings that their married and single friends enjoy.
Six, you should expect a welcoming hand, an outstretched arm, an embrace, and an invitation to return.
The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux is an independent Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. As Father Charles Vohs, the congregation’s Priest explains, this is a faith community whose mission it is to reclaim those whose experiences have left them feeling marginalized by the traditional Catholic Church.
The church is a haven for those whose abiding faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ have not always been in alignment with their lifestyles, leaving them feeling estranged, con icted, and often unwanted. Father Chuck would say to those who feel left on the fringes of their faith ~ come, you are a Child of God and you are welcome here. Come to be replenished, edi ed, supported, and uplifted.
A quick peruse of the chapel’s website best sums up the church’s mission: “The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux welcomes all individuals seeking God’s love; we keep our doors open to every soul seeking to welcome Jesus into their hearts. We invite you to open your heart and allow His grace to penetrate your soul.
Our church stands as a beacon of hope in West Warwick. We are a place of acceptance, peace, and joy to all who are moved to join us. Our church family is richly diverse, with people of di erent ages and backgrounds coming together to worship and serve together.”
Recently, the chapel underwent some major renovations including a new roof and paint job. Like so many of us, it needed a long overdue “makeover.” Today, it is a magni cent and historic structure with tall arching beams, exquisite stained-glass windows, gracious statues, and familiar emblems of the faith.
The Chapel is located at 1500 Main Street in West Warwick. Services are every Sunday at 10:30, either in person or via Zoom. Feel free to call 401-680-9076 or email stocc1500@gmail.com for more information. Visit them at www.go1500.org.
All are welcome at The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux in West Warwick. Come worship at this historic church and be edifi ed and uplifted with fellow believers of all walks of life.
