St Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church
24 South Main Street
New Berlin NY 13411
On November 3, 1955, a committee presented a proposal to Bishop Walter Forey to create a new Catholic church in New Berlin, NY. The committee included Father Bassney (of Sherburne), Dr James Hoyt, Dr Angelo Franco, Mr Verner Shafer, Mrs Elizabeth Novak and Mrs Martha DeForest (now Fleury). Bishop Forey approved the request leading to the formation of St Theresa of the Infant Jesus Roman Catholic Church in New Berlin, NY.
The building was originally used for a tailor business. Later it became a butcher shop, a grocery store, a temporary school and a lawyer’s office before it was acquired by the Nazarene Church. The Syracuse Diocese purchased the building in May of 1956.
After members of the church volunteered thousands of hours, the basement, main floor and second floor became the beautiful building that you see today. The first mass was held in this building on June 3, 1956. The church celebrated the 50-year anniversary of the first mass in June of 2006.
