Congratulations and WELCOME! to our brothers and sisters who were fully initiated into the Body of Christ at the Easter Vigil!
See today's Bulletin, (p. 2) for their names and keep them in prayer.
This beautiful icon (artist unknown) tries to express the Great Mystery of our Faith that we celebrate today: The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For more Great Art for Holy Week and Easter, visit the site “Biblical Art on the WWW.”
The empty tomb pictured on our Front Page is one of several maintained as a site of Pilgrimage near the city of Jerusalem.

Jesus said, "... I know that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold,
I will spit you out of my mouth!" (Rev. 4:15-16)
YOU make it possible!
THANK YOU! St. Stephen's!
March's Collection for the poor was $22,235.44!
In the “Home Stretch” ...
It looks pretty quiet from the outside ... that's because all the work
is happening on the INSIDE. Lights and utilities are now connected for the
new Pastoral Center. Walls are being finished, floors are being laid ... and the day is fast approaching when we can dedicate our
new facility—to the greater glory of God! OUR GOAL: complete the construction project "debt
free."
