Welcome to St Stephen’s Parish
We are Catholic men of faith who desire to put our faith into action through the principles of Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism.
As Saint James has written; What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. (James 2: 14-17)
You can make a difference from the local church to the universal church. Culturally we live in difficult times and this is no time to shrink from your duty as a Catholic gentleman. We invite all practicing Catholic men 18 years or older to join us. Even if you can help with only one event a year, you will find your faith deepened surrounded by other faith-filled men. Please prayerfully consider joining other Catholic men to help spread the Good News. You have nothing to lose and much to gain!

Invitation to Join Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus is the largest Catholic, Family, Fraternal, Service, organization in the world. Becoming a Knight can transform your life. As a Knight, you can support your parish, give back to your community, grow in your faith and gain exclusive access to the top-rated insurance program in the country to protect your family.
Charity is the first principle of the K of C. Knights are men who get things done. By working together, our Order had the ability to donate more than $1.5 billion to charity and provide 691 million volunteer hours to worthy causes in the past decade.
Unity and Fraternity are the second and third principles of the Knights of Columbus. The K of C was founded so men could work together to serve their parishes and communities, protect the well-being of their Catholic families, and support each other in faith and in many other ways.
We provide:
- Support for our clergy and parishes
- Help meet the needs of those in our community
- Provide 'Coats for Kids" and 'Food for Families"
