The presence of Christ in the Eucharist is true, real, and substantial.

First Friday Exposition

Please join us for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of each month immediately following 7am Mass until 12pm in the chapel.

You may sign up for a 30-minute or 60-minute time slot.  Your selected time will be confirmed by email.  Thank you for giving this time in prayer to our Lord.  We have much to pray for during this time of stress and suffering in our country as well as in the world.  The Lord has also blessed us with so much, and what better way to say thank you, than to spend time with God, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. 

Tuesday Exposition

Please join us for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament each Tuesday from 6pm – 8pm in the church.

If you would like to commit to a 30-minute slot on Tuesdays, please click on the button below or contact Andrew Morales at andrewm@st-stephen.com, or at 407-699-5683.

Join us on the first Saturday of the month for these opportunities of spiritual growth in your prayer life:

Rosary (hosted by Council of Catholic Women)

All are welcome to come and pray the Rosary with members of St. Stephen Council of Catholic Women following the 8:30 a.m. daily Mass in the Main Church. First Saturday devotions are made by many Catholics to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, or confession, is available after the 8:30 a.m. daily Mass in the Chapel.

A ministry to assist those in need.

Our very own Knights of Columbus Council #17915 received the distinction of Star Council, the international organization’s top award for local councils.  The Star Council Award recognizes overall excellence in the areas of membership, promotion of fraternal insurance benefits, sponsorship of faith formation programs, and service-oriented activities. 

The parishioners of St. Stephen made this possible! The Coats for Kids project in January was a big success.  The involvement with our confirmation youth, lunches, the “Keep Christ in Christmas” card program, and each and every member of the Knights were key determining factors.  A sincere thanks to everyone and blessings to our Knights!

The Reconciliation room in our chapel space has been renovated, and is ready to go! We will start using this room for Confessions, instead of the vestry by the narthex, in order to give the sacrament a special space without distraction and with privacy. Confession itself remains the same, with the option to sit across the priest or behind the available screen. Whether your last confession was last month or many years ago, we invite you to come and experience God’s mercy in the sacrament of Reconciliation.

The confession of sins allows one to become “open again to God and to the communion of the Church in order to make a new future possible.” (CCC 1455)

We welcome Father George Nursey as our new pastor beginning July 1.
