Small gestures, big love.
St. Stephen’s is a community guided by Christ to love one another as Christ loves us. We walk alongside each other in seasons of joy and in times of sorrow. Our Stephen’s Saints Ministry exists to reach out to members of our parish family whose life circumstances make it difficult for them to attend worship or church events – or who simply need a little extra love and care.
This ministry is a tangible expression of our shared calling to be the hands and feet of Christ for one another. Watch this page and our parish communications throughout the year for opportunities to support and uplift your fellow parishioners.

VOLUNTEER WITH STEPHEN’S SAINTS
Add Someone to the Stephen’s Saints List
Do you know a parishioner who might benefit from receiving a little extra care – someone who is homebound, going through a difficult season, or simply in need of encouragement? Before adding someone to our list, please confirm their desire to be included on our recipients list.
Please contact Molly Reichard, Minister for Community Engagement, with their name and mailing address. Molly will ensure they are added to our Stephen’s Saints list so they can receive cards, treats, and other expressions of support from our parish community.
