St. Theresa of Avila Parish in New Orleans has experienced significant decline in recent years. Given the low number of parishioners, most of whom live outside of the parish, and the large financial losses the parish is experiencing, the territory of St. Theresa of Avila Parish north of the Pontchartrain Expressway will be merged with St. Patrick Parish on Camp St. in the Warehouse District and the territory south of the Pontchartrain Expressway will be merged with St. Alphonsus Parish on Constance St. in the Garden District effective July 1, 2024.
