St. Stephen's is now in Phase 2 of the Diocese of Belleville's Reopening Plan.  Mass is now held as usual - see Weekly Schedule.  Hand sanitizer and masks are provided to all who visit.  Seats are marked for social distancing, and are disinfected between each use.  We look forward to having you join us for worship!

Beginning July 14, the Saturday night masses will move to 5:00 pm and will rotate between St. Stephen and St. Edward.  This 3 Mass per weekend schedule is an experiment per direction from the diocese.  St. Stephen will have Saturday evening Mass on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, with St. Edward having mass on the 1st and 3rd.

As Pope Francis calls on all the faithful to “constantly contemplate the mystery of mercy,” all are encouraged to take time to visit the Blessed Sacrament, where we come face to face with Jesus Christ who is “the face of the Father’s mercy.”  Pope Saint John Paul II said that by spending time in Eucharistic Adoration, we “contribute to the radical transformation of the world.” 

The Adoration Chapel at St. Stephen Parish is open on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 12:00 midnight, and on Fridays from 8:30 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.
