In its 2,000 year history, the Church has taught on issues affecting nearly the whole of human experience and activity. Some of these can be difficult for Catholics to affirm or follow. Join us for an exploration of these teachings in a 2 part series on February 4th and February 11th in Conference Center 111 at 6:30pm.

The Living Dramatization of Leonardo DaVinci’s
The Last Supper by Ernest Emurian
Presented by St. Stephen Catholic Church
The production starts promptly at 7:00 PM in the St. Catherine Hall. The cost is $10 per person.
On Saturday, March 21, 2026, St. Stephen Catholic Church will present the performance of the living dramatization of Ernest Emurian’s “The Last Supper” adapted by Marty and Vicki Wicks, directed by Caryl DeGrandi and produced by Pat Hanavan. This moving production captures the moment when Jesus says “one of you will betray me” prompting the famous pose from Leonardo DaVinci’s painting. One-by-one each apostle steps out of the painting to share their story, their relationship to Jesus and one another.
Caryl DeGrandi, Director, said the dramatization offers Catholics a blessed way to continue our Lenten preparations.

On Thursday, May 8, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected as the next pontiff of the Catholic Church. Leo XIV was born in Chicago and worked as an Augustinian missionary in Peru. He is the first Pope from North America. We pray that his pastoral leadership will guide our Church and continue to shine the light of the Good News to all.
