new to st stephen's?Can anyone come to mass? YES! You don’t need to be Catholic to come to Mass. Anyone seeking God, peace, or community is welcome to sit with us. Can I bring children? Yes, please do! Children are part of our parish family. Don’t worry if they make noise — it’s their church too. Is there a dress code? Come as you are. Most people wear something modest and comfortable, but there’s no strict dress code. Do I have to receive Communion? No. If you are Catholic and prepared, you may receive Communion. If not, you are still welcome to come forward for a blessing (just cross your arms over your chest), or you can remain seated. |
Still nervous?

However you choose to take part, please know this: you belong. St Stephen’s is your parish home, whether you’re ready to dive right in or simply need a quiet place to sit and breathe.
