Parish Registration
Welcome to St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church! We believe that everybody belongs here, and we strive to embody Stewardship as a way of life by offering our parishioners hospitality, prayer, formation, and service, in order to grow as disciples of Christ. Whatever your personal and spiritual needs are, we are here for you. We are glad you’re here, and we look forward to meeting you in person at Mass this weekend.
I'M NEW TO THE PARISH
As a new Parishioner, we invite you to register with us either by picking up a form at the Parish Office or using the online registration form below.
What happens next? Soon after registration, you will receive a welcome packet from the Parish. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the ministries and programs offered at St. Teresa’s. Your offertory envelopes will arrive in about 3 weeks.
UPDATE MY REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Need to update your phone, email or address? Want to check on your giving for the year and get your e-statement at the end of the year? St. Teresa’s has a system, called My Own Church, for updating your family information and even keeping track of you giving history! All you need to do is hit the My Own Church button below and create an account. Then, someone in the church office will approve your account, and you’ll be able to update all your family information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses. You’ll be able to view the St. Teresa’s directory. You’ll be able upload your favorite family photo and chose whether you want that photo (or other information) to be visible to other members who’ve logged in—or you can keep some information private and available only to church administrators. Call the Parish Office (706-863-4956) if you have any questions.
New Member FAQ's

Blank Article - DO NOT DELETE +
-
Is my Giving History confidential in My Own Church? +
Yes. Your account permits you to see the giving history only for your family and the family members in your household. You cannot see anyone else’s giving history, and they cannot see yours. -
How do I keep my information private? +
Your church’s pictorial directory and member lists are available only to other church families that have authorized accounts. The pictorial directory and member lists are not available publicly on the Internet. If you wish to keep your information private from other church members, use the Publish checkboxes in your Family Detail record to set your phone, email, photo, and address as unlisted. -
I made some changes to my information. Why aren’t they showing up in My Own Church? +
All updates must be reviewed by our staff administrator. Once we accept your changes, you’ll see them in My Own Church, and your record in our main church database will be updated for all church ministries. -
I recently created an account…why can’t I log in? +
If your account is new (i.e., created within the last day or two), your church administrator may not have authorized your username and password yet. -
I forgot my account login…what do I do? +
Visit the site and click the Lost Password link, located just below the Username and Password fields. Enter your information to receive a reminder at the authenticated email address you provided when you first set up your account. -
I got a “Registration Failed!” message…why? +
The system could not find your email address in the church database. We’re sorry about that. Just contact the church office and we’ll help get you set up (and, if needed, registered). -
My Own Church isn’t working in my browser. What’s the trouble? +
For security reasons, My Own Church works in Internet Explorer 8.0+, Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+ and Chrome 2.0+. -
Do I ever need to use ParishSoft My Own Church again, or is this a one-time deal? +
Please save your account information. Your giving history and sacramental records are handy to have online, and if you move, get a new email, or change phone numbers, we’d like you to log in and update your record. Plus, as our software provider adds functionality to the system, we’ll have new and convenient ways to help keep you connected with parish life through the ParishSoft My Own Church portal.
