We all find ourselves at different places in our journeys of faith.  Perhaps you are currently wrestling with some challenges in your life.  Maybe your heart is a bit restless or perhaps you feel that you have so much to share of God’s love in your life with others.  Wherever you may be we here at St. Stephen Deacon & Martyr are committed to accompanying you in your journey of faith. Our hope is that you will feel very welcomed and accompanied by our community as you deeply encounter Christ and His love.  
   
As you explore this website, please familiarize yourself with our worship schedule, the ministries our parish has to offer, the different faith formation initiatives, the social and hospitality events and different outreach and service programs.  
   
I encourage all families with children to explore Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School, which is our parish school that we share with three other neighboring parishes or explore our very robust Religious Education Program that serves many of our families.  
   
If you would like to stay up to date on our current events, please sign-up for our weekly Flocknote newsletter.  
   
If visiting this website is your first time with us, I hope that you will be able to pay us a personal visit sometime soon. Join us for Sunday worship or explore the many opportunities for worship, fellowship or service.  
   
Our parish seeks to offer as many opportunities for parishioners to come together and grow in faith as possible.  If there is anything we can do to help you in your journey of faith, please do not hesitate to contact our clergy, parish office or any of our ministry leaders.  
   
I pray you will find St. Stephen to be truly your spiritual home, a place of spiritual and personal growth and most importantly a place of an encounter with Jesus.
