About St. Theresa of the Child Jesus
St. Theresa of the Child Jesus is a Roman Catholic parish located in Linden, New Jersey, with deep roots in the local Polish community. Founded in 1925 with just twenty people at the first Mass, the parish has grown significantly over nearly a century, surviving challenges including a devastating fire in 1970 and continuing to thrive with renovations and expansions throughout the decades. Today, the parish serves as the Archdiocesan Shrine of St. John Paul II and maintains a vibrant spiritual life with multiple daily Masses offered in English, Polish, and Spanish, along with active religious education programs and devotional practices. The church community is led by Pastor Rev. Ireneusz Pierzchala and supported by a dedicated staff of priests, sisters, and lay ministers who continue the parish's mission of faith and service.
