...By the mid-1920's, Springfield's Catholic community was well enough established to make possible the erection of a permanent church. Father Michael J. Reddin, a diocesan priest from Orangeburg, took charge of the building of the church which was to become the present St. Theresa's. Mr. James Bean, Sr., Dr. Paul A. Phillips, members of the Springfield Catholic community, and the Catholic Extension Society provided financial help to make the church possible. The 1.7 acres of the church site were donated by Mr. James Bean, Sr. Large scale soliciting of funds was even undertaken by the young people of the parish. Those included were Evelyn Bean, Eleanor Bean, Catherine Bean, Myra Phillips, and Jean Phillips. Under the direction of Father Reddin, they wrote letters to people with "Irish sounding names" in the New York City telephone directory. Though the community members suggested building a smaller and compact structure, Father Reddin's plan to build a church in the Spanish mission style was accepted. The deed to the church is recorded in the Orangeburg County Courthouse under "Diocese of Charleston." The church was completed during 1926 and dedicated on December 6, 1926, by Bishop Northrup of Charleston. Saint Theresa of the Little Flower was chosen as the patron saint of the mission.
