The construction of the parish Educational Center will be the initial phase of the project followed by the construction of the Parish Church. The Educational Center will consist of a Pre-K through eighth academic program as well as a full-time year round day care facility. The Center will also contain the Parish Hall/Gymnasium.

The members of the new parish have worked over the past fifteen months to create their new parish campus at the intersection of Swamp Pike and Neiffer Road, Limerick (Montgomery County).

Parishioners of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta have been asked to bring food items that will be donated to the Mother Teresa's Sister who work in Norristown, Montgomery County.
