    What I love about this church is that they have an English Mass. The church has a vintage architecture, all in white colour. There is a peaceful and beautiful Holy Mary shrink to pray.

    It is an international church that caters to all nations. The English masses are on Saturdays at 3:30 and on Sundays at 3. The ushers are warm in welcoming the lay faithful. There is a wide space for parking. There is also a canteen where you can buy food. It is best to always bring cash because some stalls do not have qris. The mass is solemn, the lectors read clearly, and the choir sings well. You can really feel the essence of the Eucharist. Confession happens an hour before the mass.

    An old church with very accessible access. Easy access if you use public transport because it's near Transjakarta stop M.H Thamrin and pretty short walking distance from MRT Bundaran HI station. Located near Sarinah and lots of food stalls, cafe, supermarket, and a hotel around the church. The atmosphere is pretty nice and it provides english mass and confession for foreigners, especially English speakers.

    It is not just a place of worship; it's a spiritual sanctuary that embraces all who seek solace and community. Whether you're a devoted parishioner or a visitor exploring Jakarta's cultural and religious landmarks, this church offers a profound and enriching experience. Highly recommended for those in search of spiritual nourishment and a tranquil escape from the city's hustle.

    Only at St.Theresia Menteng you can attend the Sunday mass as late as 7pm ( I guess no other church have this schedule, even online). They also have the english version mass every Saturday at 4pm, and Sunday 11am

    Catholic church that really accessible in Central Jakarta, it's behind Sarinah. They offer several time mass service: daily (7 AM & 6 PM); Saturday (5 PM) & Sunday (7 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, 5 PM & 7 PM) Services. 3 PM Sunday services is in English. They also have Maria's cave if we want to pray by ourselves.

    St. Theresia Catholic Church in Jakarta is a stunning place of worship that I had the pleasure of visiting recently. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the beauty and grandeur of the architecture, and the peaceful atmosphere that enveloped the space. The church features a stunning altar that is adorned with intricate details, as well as beautiful stained glass windows that let in a soft, ethereal light. The high ceiling, painted in pastel colors, adds to the sense of grandeur and elegance. The overall effect is one of peace, reverence, and awe. The church is also equipped with modern amenities, such as an excellent sound system, making it a great place to attend a service or participate in other religious activities. The services are well organized, and the choir provides a wonderful musical accompaniment to the prayers and reflections. The friendly and welcoming congregation further enhances the experience at St. Theresia Catholic Church, and it is clear that the members of the community are passionate about their faith and committed to creating a warm and inclusive environment. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting St. Theresia Catholic Church to anyone who is looking for a place of worship that is both beautiful and welcoming. The atmosphere is peaceful and uplifting, and the community is friendly and engaging. It is truly one of the most remarkable churches in Jakarta.

    My family and I went to Saint Theresia Church for Easter vigil 2023. English mass was held at 3 pm. Knowing that there were no parking slot available, thus we decided to use an online taxi. But I just saw nearby of the Church building is the parking building of Sarinah. Next time if you bring your children here, and have to use the car during crowded celebration, it would be good if you check the parking slot of Sarinah.

  • 5/5 Michael P. 1 year ago on Google
    nice place to pray and be in the Saturday Mass. Love the ambience, but maybe can add more aircondition ( AC ). Somehow quite warm when too many people join the mass

  • 5/5 rini s. 1 year ago on Google
    A peaceful praying place and a haven in the midst of the busy traffic. It has a small but nice book store, as well as friendly staff. It is not far from Sarinah department store, if you want to go shopping after going to church.

  • 5/5 Bao Chau P. 2 years ago on Google
    Sunday 3pm english mass. The session runs smoothly, choir is great. But pls improve 1. The phone call is not reachable ; 2. need to register in advance but no-body tell us where and when to register, and the receiption team asked us to wait without any telling next steps; 3. also very strict in seat setting, need to sit accordingly thwir guide even though there're many other space in same area.

    One of the oldest church in Jakarta, renovated into a modern one, they keep certain area original, the atmosphere is rather antique, very nice, the trees on surrounding area are old to. The parking space is at the school nearby, a little walk to the church wouldn't hurt.
