Biographical or Historical Note

The church was built by shipbuilders in 1859 on land donated by Jasper O<U+2019>Farrell and named after St. Teresa of Avila by local Spanish and Portuguese immigrants. Archbishop Alemany dedicated the church on June 2, 1861[1]. The church is still in use today and is the oldest church in continuous use in Sonoma County. Both Saint Teresa Avila Catholic Church and Potter School were locations for Alfred Hitchcock's film, The birds. The church was also the subject of a 1953 photograph by Ansel Adams.
