2025 Trunk or Treat

Despite the gloomy weather, nothing could dampen the spirits of our trunk hosts and trick-or-treaters! A big thank-you to Troop 303 and 303G for helping make the event such a success. And of course, the hot dogs were the perfect antidote to a chilly evening!

Celebrating 75 Years of Faith & Joy!

St. Stephen's Gala, Saturday October 11th

What a weekend to remember! Our 75th Anniversary Gala and the Bishop’s visitation made for an extraordinary celebration of faith, community, and joy. From the laughter under the tent to the beautiful liturgy on Sunday morning, it was a true testament to the spirit of St. Stephen’s—past, present, and future.

Below you’ll find a few photos capturing the highlights of the celebration—the music, the smiles, the blessing of our new vestments, and the many faces that make this parish so special.

Blessing of the Animals

What a wonderful event it was! Held in the Labyrinth on October 5, the Blessing of the Animals brought together over 40 attendees and their beloved pets. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s blessing such a fun and special tradition!
