Stephen Ministers are available to meet weekly with parishioners going through a difficult time for any number of reasons - death or divorce in the family, illness, a recent move, job loss, or other stressful event. Stephen Ministers are trained in a ministry of compassionate and prayerful listening, and must keep all aspects of their ministry in strictest confidence. If you would like to know more you may contact the clergy. We also have resources available for financial assistance for members of the parish needing help. The Parishioners Fund makes grants in various amounts to cover emergency needs.
Referrals come through the clergy.
Additionally we have The St. Stephen's Educational Loan Fund which is an interest-free revolving loan fund, offering loans up to 1500 dollars a year. It is available to college students, both undergraduate and graduate. Call the church office for more information.
