Pastor's Wish List

St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church maintains a beautiful and prayerful church building as well as a Catholic school and other facilities to carry out our mission to be a “community for all to encounter Christ, know Christ, and proclaim Christ.”

Our Pastor maintains a wish list of items needed to continue our mission. Please browse the list below to learn of our current needs. If you are interested in helping support a project, please reach out to Erin Finken, Director of Operations at e.finken@stephen.org.
