Dear Saint Stephen the Martyr parishioners,
“May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord reveal His face to you and take pity on you. May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant you peace." - Numbers 6:24-26
Please Note:
The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God is typically a Holy Day of Obligation but the Holy Day is abrogated this year because it falls on a Saturday. Therefore, there are no additional Masses on December 31st or January 1st; our Mass times on these days remain our normal schedule.
Did You Know...
Step away from the noise and chaos of life and experience the “rest” that can only be given by Jesus. Visit during the Christmas season (now-Jan. 9th) and enjoy the beautiful decorations as you spend time in prayer. The Daily Mass Chapel and Worship Space are open from 9 AM to 9 PM Monday-Friday and from 10 AM to 6 PM on Saturday-Sunday. The Adoration Chapel is open 24/7; door access code: 9675*. Remember to be quiet, respectful, and reverent in these holy spaces that are set aside for prayer and reflection.
