The word “catholic” means universal, and that is really what the Catholic Church is – a universal body of believers, united in a message that is not it’s own, but comes from God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, yet is ever-new and renewing as it is received, celebrated, lived and contemplated today. There are 1.2 billion Catholics, speaking every language located all over the world. We’d like to welcome you to our corner of the world, where lives are enriched through God’s love in the sacraments. Christ himself is the answer to all the world’s tribulations, encounter His deep love for you here at St. Stephen the Martyr.
