Knights of Columbus
Our local Knights of Columbus Council is responsible for the monthly brunch during the school year. These are held after the 10:00 am mass on the first Sunday of each month.
Throughout the year the Knights prepare and serve other meals such as the annual St. Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage. They also fundraise throughout the year to support our St. Stephen's Catholic Church & School.
If you are interested in joining our local Knights of Columbus Council please contact the parish office.
St. Bridget
St. Bridget’s Circle is dedicated to serving the parish, community, and beyond with compassion and support. The group focuses on meaningful service projects, including the SOUP Freezer program and Extended Table to provide meals for those in need, the Lenten mission to supply infant car seats for the Pregnancy Resource Center, and wrapping Christmas gifts and cookies for Catholic Charities. St. Bridget’s Circle also promotes faith education through organizing the parish library by the adoration chapel.
Volunteer Opportunities
Looking to get involved at St. Stephen’s? Join us in serving coffee and donuts after Mass, lending a hand at our Hearts and Hands gift shop, assisting in the office, and more! There are many ways to connect and make a difference in our vibrant parish community.
Liturgical Ministries
The Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass is the Source and the Summit of the Christian Life. At the Mass we offer both the Divine Victim, Jesus Christ, and we offer ourselves fully to God. By this offering and through Holy Communion all take part in this liturgical service, not indeed, all in the same way but each in that way which is proper to himself. Strengthened in Holy Communion by the Body of Christ, Catholics manifest in a concrete way the unity of the people of God.
Though the priest leads the worship of the Mass, the faithful assist in elevating the celebration of the Mass in beauty and reverence through various liturgical ministries.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth,”
– St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is from Thursday at 8 am until Saturday at 12 noon. All are welcome to stop-in and pray with Our Eucharistic Lord, or sign up for a weekly commitment.
The Adoration Chapel is located on the third floor, up the north (school side) stairs. It is open 24/7, including outside of formal adoration time
Travelling Chalice
The Traveling Chalice program invites families or individuals to bring home a special chalice from the parish for one week as a visible reminder to pray for vocations. During the week, participants are encouraged to set aside time each day to pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life, as well as for holy, faithful marriages and the courage for all to follow God’s call. A prayer guide will be provided to help you reflect, pray as a family, and deepen your awareness of the Church’s need for dedicated vocations.
