Welcome to Mother Teresa

A Word From Our Pastor

Father Mark Simpson

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Whether you are a parishioner of our parish family or seeking a home for your spiritual journey, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you all!

Located in Nolensville, TN, our parish was founded in 2021 and named after Saint Teresa of Calcutta, a great example of selfless love, service, and compassion. We strive to embody these virtues in our own parish with the mission of changing lives and making disciples.

At the heart of our worship is the Eucharist – “the source and summit of the Christian life” (CCB 1324). It is Jesus Christ’s greatest gift to us and allows us to unite ourselves with Him.

As your Pastor, it is my joy and privilege to serve this vibrant community in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church. I am a proud Nashville native and a graduate of Montgomery Bell Academy. From there, I began seminary at the Pontifical College Josephinum and was ordained in 2019. I have served the Diocese of Nashville as Assistant Vocations Director, Chaplain at Father Ryan High School, Chaplain at Camp Marymount, and Associate Pastor at Holy Family Parish. In June of 2023, I assumed the role of Pastor at Mother Teresa Parish.

Outside of my pastoral duties, I enjoy spending time with my parents, siblings, and many nieces and nephews. I love the outdoors and often go fishing in my spare time.

I am truly blessed and excited to walk this faith journey with you as we grow together in the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. Welcome to Mother Teresa Catholic Church!

In Christ,
Fr. Simpson
