Prayer for use of talents and possessions, written by Rev. Michael Buckley, S.J.:
Heavenly Father, your Son Jesus Christ has taught us that all our possessions and talents are on trust from you, help us to be zealous and faithful stewards of all you have given us, so that, true to your grace, we may merit to be welcomed into your kingdom as good and faithful servants, who have in all things sought and accomplished your holy will. - Amen
The mission of St. Stephen's Catholic Church is to provide an atmosphere for the spiritual
nurturing of our parish community in a way that realizes the God-given potential in each of us.
