OUR MISSION
is to provide strong spiritual formation to all in our faith community
so that, like Christ, we will minister to each other,
evangelize, and be advocates for justice.

OUR VISION
According to and directed by Church teaching, we believe:
- Faith is our response to God’s self-revelation.
- Each person is called forth to use their unique gifts for the building up of the vibrant, dynamic life
of the community.
- When we empower people to embrace their gifts, they become agents of transformation:
individually, in their families, in the faith life of St Stephen, and in the wider world.

Accordingly, we will:
- Facilitate opportunities for parishioners in all ages and stations of life to recognize and name
how and where God is working in their lives.
- Provide opportunities for parishioners to embrace their gifts and use them at the service of the community.

You will:
- with open minds, hearts and hands, experience the wonders of God and set the world around you ablaze.
