Gifts in memory or honor of a loved one are truly meaningful and unique.
Memorial gifts are a meaningful way to honor the memory of a loved one. At this time, memorial gifts can only be accepted by check or cash.
Honoring someone important in your life with a tribute gift can be a thoughtful way to celebrate a milestone: a birthday, wedding, new baby, graduation, or any special occasion. In place of gifts for the “person who has everything” a tribute gift in their honor is unique and benefits something that means a lot to them – their Catholic Faith.
Each gift will be acknowledged with a notecard and sent according to your wishes. We will send notice of the gift to whomever you designate and the amount you contribute can be kept confidential should you desire.
St. Stephen accepts gifts for school tuition assistance, technology, Religious Education, building maintenance and improvement, and landscaping. We do not accept memorials consisting of tangible property to be placed at or around the church or school grounds, such as statues, flag poles, plaques, garden monuments, etc. If interested in making gifts to establish (or add to existing) scholarships or endowments, please contact Carrie Ashley, Director of Development, (402) 861-4541 or c.ashley@stephen.org.
If you would like to have a Mass offered for a deceased loved one or to remember a special event like a birthday or anniversary, please contact Melissa in the church office at (402) 896-0754 or mdpayne@stephen.org. To learn more visit stephen.org/mass-intentions.
An additional opportunity to remember a loved one is recognition on the St. Stephen Memorial Tree of Life sculpture located in the Gathering Space. This is a beautiful way to honor and pay tribute to the life of a family member or friend. To learn more visit stephen.org/tree-of-life
