St. Theresa Catholic Church — Attraction in Sugar Land

as a catholic who lives near this church & other nearby catholic churches, where i as well as churchgoers come to attend mass and also make contribution, certainly not to make or cause trouble; however, i was treated like one at this church as my car was towed after carelessly parked in the no parking lane. Although admitting my mistake as I had been a bit late for the mass, but my parking was in the parking lot, not blocking any other cars, front nor back. Even if the car happen to block anyone's or caused an inconvenience, I or a churchgoer would have instead been appreciated a verbal warning / announcement that the car will be towed if not moved; Rather, this church allows towing co. to prey on vehicles to have the car towed & ripped off churchgoer an exact $313.91 to get the car out ($250 towing fee charged by the towing driver & almost $65 for less than 1 hr. storage charged by shop)!! A Church or House of God is a place where people find mercy, compassion, but this catholic church is the first ever that have car of churchgoers towed without any mercy or verbal warning! I come to mass to pray & donate, not to make or cause trouble, but what happened earlier today is a message from this church that I'm no longer welcome, so don't come to pray or donate or be part of this church any longer. As nothing / no one is perfect; thus could have been given at least 1 warning; however, it appears that this church gives churchgoer no chance or no mercy. While I understand that my decent donation is for God regardless of which church I come, I regret that my donation was given to this church or administration that have no mercy / compassion. It was very unfortunate as I went to this church a while back ago when it was overseen or directed by a Caucasian Pastor, whom I had much past admiration & respect.

Any rate, while acknowledging that parking in a wrong spot could cause a tight space or blockage which may be an inconvenience to other vehicles, why not issue only one or final warning to that vehicle, esp. the people who park the car there happen to be new or visitor who not yet know of the strict parking enforcement? That way, it will show an understanding & compassionate; after all, people who park at the lots are there to worship God & make donation, contribution to the church's...

So unfortunate that I was charged $350 for attending a church service. My kids has to walk miles back home after our car was towed.This church is at sugarland but we church members has to carpool to Houston, to go pickup our cars from the towing company which this church has this business with.

Can you imagine, one of the members who volunteered his car, has to seat in the trunk of the car, to make space for others to go pickup their cars. It was inhuman to see the old people, the sick, kids, churchgoers lined up to pay cash before their car could be released.

What surprises me the most was, the church was making announcement on a new product which the church members can purchase but was so inconsiderate to announce to the members to go repark their cars.

The cashier at the towing place was so unhappy with this idea and said "every church service they will be calling his manager to come quick and tow the car before the church service is over even on christmas day" they target to tow the car when people are concentrating on the church service.

We tried to call the church about this wicked act. Their reply was, they warn people not park close to the waste bin or the fire line, but the church uses this places during church events. Yes, they close this places down and use it for their benefits.

With the limited car park spaces, they should have put "no parking signs" on those places or announce it in the church, so that people can go and...

This was my first time visiting this church. It's a big and beautiful church with a very diverse community. The reason I'm rating it so low is because of something the priest said during the homily. The gospel was about the great commandment, the love for God, and the the love for neighbors. During his homily the priest said, "Take nurses in the hospital. Is there love and compassion in the hospitals? I doubt it. But there is love of money." And it sounded like he was implying that nurses don't have compassion and go into nursing soley for the money. As a registered nurse myself, I took great offense to that comment. Nursing is not an easy profession. Even though it's known to be a decent paying job, people who go into nursing know what they're going into. Nursing takes a lot of critical thinking, effort, sacrifice, patience, tolerance, and, above all, compassion. Compassion in caring for our patients when they are in their most vulnerable moments. My mom is a nurse. My aunts are nurses. Some of the best people I know are nurses. And I know, including myself, that we did not get into and stay in the profession soley for money. So for the priest to say something like that about nurses in his homily I believe was just...
