The St. Theresa Education Center in Sugar Land, Texas was dedicated on August 13th, 2009 by His Eminence Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Archbishop of Galveston-Houston. The building houses a new elementary school for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, offices for the parish staff, and offices for catechetical education for children and adults. The two-story brick and limestone building is inspired by St. Mary’s Seminary and Ralph Adams Cram’s buildings at Rice University.The main entry is placed next to the existing church, and is articulated by a façade with banded brickwork and arches, limestone and marble details. The Ionic doorway leads to a two-story lobby with a skylight above, off of which are parish offices and the school library. The Doric entry to the school is off of the porte-cochere.A second phase of the project will add classrooms for pre-school and middle school, as well as classrooms for science, art, and music and additional office space. A gymnasium and refectory already exist.
