Make Your Reservation for Our Weekend Masses!

Due to the seating capacity limitation of 100 people, signs-ups are required for each weekend Mass. We have set up a reservation system where you can sign up online and receive a confirmation.  If you do not have internet access, please call the parish office to make your reservation.  Please note:  If you completed the parish survey, we thank you.  The information helped us determine the need for a reservation system and overflow areas at some Masses.  Your response to the survey was not a reservation, however. 

Please reserve your place using the link and instructions below:
 
Reservations can be made beginning each Monday at 8am for the Masses for the upcoming weekend . Reservations close at 2:00pm Friday in order to allow sufficient time to prepare and print the lists for the ushers. Mass reservations will need to be made each week.  

Go to our parish website at www.stteresaauburn.com/mass-reservations.  Follow the simple instructions to select the Mass you want to attend that has space available for you and your family.  If you do not have internet access, please call the parish office at (530)889-2254 before 2pm on Friday afternoon. Ushers will have lists of the reservations for each Mass.
