The San Diego Chinese Catholic Community (SDCCC) is a Chinese Catholic group based at St. Thérèse of Carmel Church (Former St. William of York Church) in the San Diego Diocese. San Diego Bishop Robert Brom designated the pastor of St. Thérèse of Carmel to be the shepherd and spiritual guide for SDCCC.
The SDCCC Mass is celebrated at 5:30 every Sunday afternoon by Chinese-speaking priests from the greater Los Angeles area, or visiting Chinese priests from all over the world, as well as by local retired English-speaking priests. Mandarin, Cantonese, and English are used in the liturgy. Community members participate actively in the liturgy as music ministers, Eucharistic ministers, lectors, sacristans, and altar servers.
The SDCCC has grown from ten families to more than eighty active families since 1995. Currently the SDCCC has seven Bible study and faith sharing groups, the Legion of Mary, as well as faith formation for children (grades 1-6), youth (junior and senior high), and adults (RCIA). Many SDCCC members are registered parishioners of St Thérèse of Carmel Church, and they actively participate in parish activities such as Disciples in Mission, RCIA, and Eucharistic ministry.
SDCCC members often join other Southern California Chinese Catholic groups for spiritual growth seminars, retreats, family camps, Marriage Encounter meetings, Healing of Hearts prayer, catechetical work and evangelization activities. Members of the Legion of Mary go to Senior Center and the CCA jail to visit Elderly and inmates who only speak Chinese on a regular basis, to provide them comfort, to carry out God’s commandment of love.
聖地雅歌華人天主教會〔San Diego Chinese Catholic Community，簡稱SDCCC〕是一群中華基督徒組成的天主教團體， 附屬於聖地雅歌教區聖德肋撒天主堂〔前聖約克威廉天主堂〕。聖地雅歌教區主教任命聖德肋撒天主堂的本堂神父作為聖地雅歌華人天主教會的神師。
SDCCC於每星期天下午五時三十分舉行中文主日彌撒。敦請各地來的華語及美藉神父主禮彌撒。禮儀中各服務如讀經、送聖體、傅祭、翻譯、音樂禮儀等都是由團體中的教友輪流負責。
由1995年聖誕節成立以來，聖地雅歌華人天主教會已由初期十個家庭成長到現在的八十多個核心家庭。目前SDCCC有七個讀經信仰分享小組，聖母軍，兒童、青年信仰道理班 (Faith Formations)，以及成人道理班(RCIA)。不少SDCCC會員都以聖德肋撒作本堂，並活躍於本堂活動。由於SDCCC沒有常駐的華人神父，在成人道理班、CCD、各項聖事以及社區外展活動，都積極與堂區其他團體合作，並定期向本堂神師 Fr. Nicholas Dempsey 報告SDCCC的動向。
除了團體中不斷的成長，SDCCC亦積極參與北美各地華人天主教團體的靈修及福傳活動，像製作「傳信與關懷」月刊，支持「輔友協會」，以及各項以華語進行的善事，如信仰講座、祈禱小組、避靜、心靈治療，及褔傳活動。另外，聖母軍團員亦定期到老人中心及CCA監獄探訪只會說華語的長者和非法移民，為他們提供心靈的安慰與關懷。宣揚基督愛主愛人的精神。
