St. Theresa's Catholic Church, the Church of St. Theresa of Lisieux, stands at 466 Boston Road on the east side of the road just south of Billerica Center, on the land of the old Wayside Farm. It was built in 1959 for St. Theresa's Parish, which had been founded in 1945 in the former First Baptist Church on Concord Road, and since 2020 it has been one of the churches of St. Matthew the Evangelist Parish.

Until the late 1930s the Catholics of Billerica Center and East Billerica belonged to Saint Andrew's Roman Catholic Church in North Billerica. On June 7, 1939 the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston bought the old Baptist meetinghouse at 29 Concord Road, facing the Common, from the Lowell Five Cent Savings Bank, which had taken it from the Billerica Grange by foreclosure that spring. The deed conveyed "a certain tract of land with the buildings thereon" of 66 square rods, with the bounds Ann Parker had given the Baptist deacons in 1844. The building became a mission church of St. Andrew's, named for St. Theresa of Lisieux: the Billerica directories of 1940-41 and 1942 list "StTheresa's Roman Catholic Church, Concord rd".

In 1945 Archbishop (later Cardinal) Richard J. Cushing made the mission a parish of its own and appointed the Rev. Daniel J. O'Keefe its first pastor. Father O'Keefe had a church but no rectory, and at first he lived across Concord Road. On September 10, 1945 the Archbishop bought the house next door to the church, the George H. Whitman House at 33 Concord Road, with five acres running back to Parker Road, from William H. and Maud G. Smith, and it became the rectory. The 1949 and 1951 directories list Father O'Keefe as pastor and the Rev. Alexander E. Szypko as his assistant at "StTheresa's Rectory, Concord rd", and the 1957 directory gives the church as 29 Concord Road and the rectory as 33 Concord Road. Father O'Keefe was still in Billerica in the 1960s, when he served on the town's Council for the Aging (1962 to 1965).

The land for a new church came from the long Boston Road farm that had been the Bowers lot of 1810 and the eighteen-acre farm David Parker sold to George Proctor in 1851. Later owners included Philander D. Howe and Calvin P. Sawyer, and the florist Clarence A. Backer registered it in the Land Court in 1916 (Certificate 864); he had bought Lot B of the neighboring Sexton land in 1913 (Certificate 432). After Backer's death his executors sold the land in 1926 to Isabel Porter, and when her mortgage was foreclosed in 1934 it passed to James Shannon and his sons of Woburn. Town Meetings in 1955, 1956 and 1957 considered buying or taking part of the Shannon land on Boston Road for a fire station and about 41 acres of it for municipal purposes, but none of these articles led to a purchase. In September 1958 James W. and Robert J. Shannon quitclaimed the whole tract "for consideration paid" to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston, and Certificate 10676 was entered in the Archbishop's name on September 19, 1958.

By 1953 the little Concord Road church was crowded, with standing room only at the Sunday Masses. After several years of planning, ground was broken on Boston Road in 1959 for the present church, which the assessor dates to that year. The building inspector's report for 1959 counts one permit for a new church among the year's 579 permits; the architect and builder have not been found in the town reports or deeds. The old meetinghouse on Concord Road became the parish hall, known in the parish simply as "the hall", and it is listed among the town's halls as "St. Theresa's Hall" in the 1973 town report. In 1965 and 1966 Town Meeting voted $5,000 for a sidewalk on the east side of Boston Road from Andover Road "to the northerly edge of the driveway of St. Theresa's Church". The church took the place of the old houses and shops on that side of the road: the MACRIS survey of the Boston Road area noted that "most of the east side has been razed in recent years and only partly replaced" by business blocks "and St. Theresa's church".

Priests of the parish who gave the invocation at Town Meeting included the Rev. Leo Harrison (1967), Father Neil O'Connor (1973 and 1975) and the Rev. Richard Ronan (1988). On October 3, 1973, the Whitman house having become too small, the Archbishop bought Sunnyside at 80 Concord Road, the former headmaster's house of the Mitchell Boys' School, for $70,000 from the family of the Sweeney Memorial Funeral Home, and from 1974 it was the rectory; the old rectory was used for religious education classes. The Rev. Henry T. Ronan, the fourth pastor, came in 1978, when the parish had about 3,000 families; the 1985 directory lists him at the rectory at 80 Concord Road, with the Rev. Joseph F. Beaudoin and other assistant pastors, and the "Saint Theresa's Religious Education Center" at 33 Concord Road. Later pastors included the Rev. Lawrence Russo (1991) and the Rev. John McCormack (2001).

The parish gave up its Concord Road buildings in the 1980s. In 1967 a Land Court order struck the never-built Grace Avenue from the Backer plans, and the north end of its strip was sold as Lot 10 of plan 6093-D to the Middlesex County National Bank. On August 6, 1985 the Archbishop sold both the former Baptist church, for $80,000, and the former rectory at 33 Concord Road, for $125,000, to private owners. In their place the parish built a parish center behind the new church, St. Theresa's Parish Hall, which was dedicated in October 1986; plans for a rectory beside it were set aside, and the rectory stayed at Sunnyside on Concord Road until the Archbishop sold it in November 2003, for $450,000, to the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose meetinghouse stood next door.

In October 2010 the Archdiocese leased about 3.6 acres of the land behind the church to the Rose Hill Manor Corporation for 75 years, to October 31, 2085, for the Rose Hill Manor housing, and in 2016 the Town took temporary easements along the frontage for the rebuilding of Boston Road. In 2014 the three Billerica parishes, St. Andrew, St. Mary's Church in Pinehurst and St. Theresa of Lisieux, formed a collaborative, the Catholic Community of Billerica, and on August 1, 2020 they were merged into the new St. Matthew the Evangelist Parish, under the Rev. Paul Aveni as pastor. St. Mary's Church closed in 2021, but St. Theresa's remains in use as a church of the merged parish, and the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston is still the registered owner of the land under Certificate 10676.
