St. Theresa Parish began its activities on September 28, 1971. Between the 1950s and 1960s, there was great economic and population growth in San Gavino, so Bishop Monsignor Tedde wanted to establish a second Parish. By bishop’s decree of July 1, 1957, the new parish was named after “St. Therese of the Child Jesus”, while the church was built between 1966 and 1968. Inside the church, above the altar, there is a huge painting by a Sangavino artist depicting St. Theresa. At the bottom, in relief, is an imposing crucifix with two angels. On the right, a statue of Our Lady of Sorrows stands out against the gray background of the stone walls. In the chapels: on the left are statues of Our Lady of Lourdes, Immaculate Conception, and Sacred Heart; on the right are statues of St. Joseph, St. Teresa, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and Our Lady of Loreto. A statue of Padre Pio was placed in the square in front of the church.
