All Prayer Requests are being prayed for by our parish staff and will be placed on the altar at mass.  Other requests are prayed according to the desires of those requesting the prayers. For example if your prayer request is confidential it will only be prayed for by our priests during mass. 

• St. Stephen's parish is a caring faith community.  You are invited to contribute your intentions so that we may all join in lifting them in prayer, for we know His promise:  "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them."  Matthew 18:20  May our relationship with God be strengthened, and may our capacity to love and be loved increase as our hearts reach out to each other. 

Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness,
a protection against sadness."
St. John Chrysostom
