Please Continue Your Financial Support
The suspension of public Masses will seriously impact our weekly collection. Like most parishes, 90% of our revenue comes from the generous support of our faith community. This generosity supports the many ministries of the church as well as maintenance of the building and grounds, utilities, insurance, and payroll. Please remember our parish in your prayers and by making your regular donation. You may donate through the mail or

Outreach is in Need of Your Support!
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic many people have lost their jobs or their livelihoods. Our Outreach ministry provides financial assistance for rent, utilities, or other assistance to parishioners in need. Non-parishioners are helped by our St. Vincent de Paul Conference. Our Food Bank continues to help folks in need. This past Wednesday alone, groceries were distributed 102 people!
If you can Donate: please make out your Check to St. Stephen the Martyr and put on the Memo line "Outreach." You can mail your Donations to Church or you can bring them to the Food Bank, in an envelope marked "Outreach," during scheduled hours, or whenever the Church is open for Private Prayer, and put them in the Narthex baskets. Thank you for your Support!
Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick
If your loved one is in need of anointing, please call the St. Stephens parish office to make arrangements for Fr. Ed or Fr. Jockim to visit. If the person in need of anointing has or is suspected of having COVID-19, we will assist you in connecting with one of the dedicated Priests the Archdiocese has commissioned to administer sacraments to COVID-19 patients.
Need Some Help? The Parish's Reach Out Ministry is Here for You!
Parish Staff and Volunteers have built support teams to help people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Life has gotten more challenging for all of us. Do you need help with shopping for groceries or running errands? Would you like a parishioner to call you to check-in with you or pray with you? Would you like to be part of a small group of families/singles who want to walk with other parishioners? (Using phone, Zoom, skype, etc.) This is something simple and friendly, and a great chance to build community, especially with others who are far from family or live alone. Are running short on food due to job loss or pay reduction? Come to our Parish's Food Bank and get free bags of food during Food Bank hours. To find out more about how the Reach Out Ministry can help you; call the parish office, at (253) 631-1940, Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and you can get connected!
