Saint Theresa Catholic Church
Come for the Mass, not the sightseeing. This is an active parish rather than a monument, and the best time to see it is Sunday morning when the choir is going and the congregation fills the place. Reviewers keep mentioning that choir, and the fact that you're welcome to join in or just sit and listen.
The building itself is worth the detour if you've been doing the temple circuit and want a change of register. There's a dome you won't mistake for anything else, a modern interior with woodwork above the altar, the stations of the cross around the walls and an alcove for the Blessed Virgin near the main entrance. A water fountain sits out front, the grounds are shaded and quiet, and the nave is air-conditioned, which matters more than it sounds at 10.30 in the morning. The priests speak good English, and newcomers aren't treated as intruders.

Reviews from Google
***Saint Theresa Catholic Church It is another beautiful Catholic church. The interior is beautiful and beautifully decorated. It is a very good place for the soul, quiet and shady. Mass every Saturday and Sunday The church is air conditioned
Nice church, great homily and excellent choir. English Mass time is at 10.30 a.m on Sunday only, entry via Soi 88.
This is a very nice and spacious Catholic church with pleasant grounds and a water fountain in front. Priests speak great English and the 10.30 am mass is in English with Thai mass at 7 and 9 am. Inside it is quite modern with nice woodwork above the altar. Inside also has the stations of the cross and an alcove for the Blessed Virgin near the main entrance. This church has a friendly atmosphere and I highly recommend it. There are also clean toilets in the back and a large car park if you come by car.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Dress Modestly
Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
