Church of Saint Stephen

Mission Statement

The mission of St. Stephen Catholic Parish is to nourish our love of God through Jesus Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Centered in the Eucharist, we are developing a faith community through prayer, education, worship, and Christian fellowship.

 

As stewards of God's love, we strive to share our gifts and talents for the service of God and God's people.

Our goals are as follows:

• To bring about all Catholics such enthusiasm for their faith that, in living their faith in Jesus, they will participate at Sunday Mass weekly and freely share their faith with others.

• To encourage all Catholics to grow in faith by prayers, spiritual readings, and participation in the educational programs of the parish for students and adults.

• To foster Gospel values in our society, promoting the dignity of the human person, in importance of the family, and the common good of our society, so that our parish may continue to be transformed by the saving power of Jesus Christ.

• To invite all people in our community, whatever their social or cultural background, to hear the message of salvation in Jesus Christ, so they may come to join us in the fullness of the Catholic Faith.
