Parish Mission Statement
We the people of God of St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church, united in One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism celebrate and are nourished and sustained by Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and in His Holy word. Brought together by Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit we fulfill His command to go into the whole world and proclaim the good news of salvation by sharing our faith through Prayer, Evangelization, and acts of Charity.
First Saturday Devotions
Pray the rosary and meditate on the mysteries after the 9:00 am Mass on the First Saturday of every month.
Divine
Mercy Chaplet
We sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet every Friday at 3:00 p.m. and pray the Chaplet on
the second Sunday of each month after the 8:30 a.m. Mass.
Jesus
to Sr. Faustina: "Say unceasingly this chaplet that
I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy
at the hour of death. Even the most hardened sinner, if he
recites this chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite
Mercy. I want the whole world to know My Infinite Mercy.
I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy."
