Parish Education Bulletins

Below are several summaries of the document Built of Living Stones, written by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2000. The document comprises the most recent codification for building or renovating churches and other holy places of worship. These summaries have appeared periodically in our parish bulletin and will continue to be available at information kiosks set up in our church at most weekend Masses.

To make informed decisions in the renovation of our worship space, the St. Theresa’s Renovation Committee is closely following the guidelines set forth in Built of Living Stones. It encourages all parishioners to read the entire document (available at www.usccb.org/liturgy/livingstones.shtml).

• Chapter One: "The Living Church"
• Chapter Two: "The Church Buildings and the Sacred Rites Celebrated There"
• Chapter Two, continued: "The Baptistry"
