St. Stephen’s is celebrating a huge milestone ... 50 years ... in 2018. The formal celebration will take place on the weekend of June 1-3. We kicked off our pre-celebration in September with the outdoor Celebration of the Mother of God. There are other events planned throughout the months leading up to June 2018 so watch your bulletin and plan to attend. 

It is very important to learn how and where St. Stephens started and by whom. Those of us who have joined more recently (including myself 8 years ago), walk into our beautiful church and are oblivious to the rich and cherished history. Over the next months I will share stories and memories that will excite those who are hearing these for the first time and bring a smiles to the faces of those who remember. 

This past Sunday reinforced for me how much St. Stephen’s Parish is really a home, truly a family. Angels singing in the choir loft, Father Greg celebrating Divine Liturgy and the gathering of our church family to see the model of the church showcasing our icons.  As I look around me, I feel wrapped in the loving arms of our parish family. We are truly blessed!

On a personal note I wish to send my warmest thanks for prayers, love and support I have received over the past months. St. Stephen’s is my family and my home ... and this is where my heart is.
