Welcome to Lent!
We invite you to enter into Lent more deeply by participating in the many spiritual practices offered this season - please see the Lenten Brochure here.
At St. Stephen Church we will be implementing Joyful in Hope, the 2021 Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries’ Weekend of Giving. This Weekend of Giving presents our parish a chance to come together as one in support of the Annual Appeal, a crucial fundraising initiative that benefits us as a parish through the generous Appeal rebate we receive while aiding thousands of your neighbors in Christ who rely on the many programs and ministries that the Annual Appeal strengthens.
Making a pledge, which can be paid in monthly installments through December 31, 2021 is a powerful way to maximize your contribution. For more information on the 2021 Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries, and to make a gift or pledge online, please visit www.archbalt.org/appeal/.
Options for how to give are described in this quick video guide. Please know that you can always make a gift or pledge by contacting our parish office too.
To reduce the parish costs of mailing acknowledgements, we ask those that need a copy of their 2020 donations to email your request to nicole@ssparish.org
We hope you are availing yourself of our daily and weekend live mass broadcasts on this page. As you are aware, our weekend masses are the largest source of income for the church and helps us maintain our operating services to the St. Stephen community. With normal mass services cancelled until further notice, you may want to consider on-line giving. Here is the link to our on-line giving: https://secure.etransfer.com/EFT/BlockCode/donation1.cfm…
You can also use Text to Give. Just text “register” to 410-237-8023, click the link in the reply, fill out the form and submit your registration! You will be able to text a donation amount to 410-237-8023. You will receive a confirmation text. The payment method you chose in your registration will be charged. It is as easy as that and completely secure! If you wish to mail in your offertory envelopes, you may do that as well since we collect the mail each day.
Thank you for your consideration. God bless you!
