Dear Saint Stephen the Martyr parishioners,
May God fill your hearts with His great joy this Christmas! Watch this message and reflection from Father Dave.
"Christmas reveals the immense love of God for humanity. From that also flows the enthusiasm and hope of us Christians, that in our poverty we know that we are loved, we are visited, accompanied by God, and we see the world and history as the place in which we journey together with Him and amongst ourselves toward a new heaven and a new earth."- Pope Francis
