"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
-Matthew 11:28-30

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

On behalf of the Staff and the parishioners of Saint Stephen Church, allow me to take this opportunity to welcome you here in Saint Stephen. We are very excited to have you and I am happy to say that the people of Saint Stephen are very welcoming and hospitable. You are most welcome to enjoy the hospitality of Saint Stephen!

As a ‘Catholic Faith Community called by God through Baptism to live the Gospel by loving and serving all our brothers and sisters’, we look forward to sharing and living with you our Mission Statement. Here in Saint Stephen we believe that as Good Stewards of God’s gift, we are called to share with our parish community the gift of our time, talents and treasure in gratitude to God for His many blessings He continues to bestow on us everyday.

I now welcome you as your Shepherd into our parish life and we look forward to sharing your faith with us! May God bless you abundantly.

Your Brother in Christ,

Reverend Fr.Vincent Orum, AJ
