St. Stephen the First Martyr

Mother Nature has let us know that winter is here and it’s time to bundle up and hunker down for the next few months. The cost to heat our church is substantial. Efforts are underway to reduce those costs (fans in the sanctuary, monitoring the temperature controls, etc.) but it’s still a financial burden on the parish every year.

Though a specific collection will not be taken to help defray heating costs this winter, envelopes will be available at the ends of the pews during all masses. For those who participate in WeShare – if you log in, there is an option is available to donate through your WeShare account if you prefer. 

To make a donation online, please click on the photo above, which will take you directly to our parish "We Share" account.  Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping to defray the cost of heat this winter, bundle up and stay safe.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~Matthew 6:21
