Stephen Ministry

Do you know someone who is hurting, has experienced losses, and needs to speak with someone who will confidentially listen with compassion?

Stephen Ministry is a program in our parish that equips lay persons to provide distinctively one-to-one Christ Centered care to those in need of support during times of significant life transitions. Stephen Ministers support and encourage others by offering confidential listening, prayer and love for those who may be going through difficult times such as:

• illness
• loss of a loved one
• caring for a loved one
• depression
• birth of a child or adoption
• separated or divorce
• job crisis
• times of loneliness or discouragement
• spiritual crisis
