A Community for All – St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Faith is a journey in which we are each called to grow closer to God. However, God does not leave us to do this on our own. He remains with us in the Eucharist: His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

As a parish family, we are called to renew and deepen our encounter with Jesus, so that we may come to know Him better and, in turn, proclaim the Gospel with love to all in our community.

Thank you for your faithful service and generous support of our parish community and the mission of the Church. I invite you to prayerfully consider how you can renew your commitment to financially support St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church. Your sacrificial giving allows us to provide opportunities for all in our community to encounter, know, and proclaim Christ.

I pray that you and your family may deepen your Eucharistic communion with the Lord and be filled with His love and abundant graces.

May God bless you,
Fr. Dave Belt
