Welcome! From Monsignor Michael McCarron

Blessings and Peace in the Name of Lord Jesus!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the newly revised website for the parish of St. Stephen, Martyr Roman Catholic Church. Whether you are a new comer to our area in search of a parish home, a member of the parish family, or simply a "cyber-surfer" that has happened upon us, it is my conviction that the Lord has led you to these pages.

Our parish is a growing and active community in the Hickory section of Chesapeake, Virginia. Our members come from the neighborhood hereabouts as well as Northeastern North Carolina. Diverse in makeup, we are young and old, natives and transplants. We exist for one reason: to come to know and be conformed to, the Person of Jesus. In prayer and worship and service, we gather in His Name, relying on His promise to be in our midst. Founded firmly in the faith and truth of the Catholic Church, we are proud of our heritage and hopeful for our future. Other than this Lord's grace, there is no other purpose for our being.

I invite you to peruse our website, and if you are a searcher to visit us! Feel free to contact us if you have questions about our parish or its ministries. If you are a parish member, there is a wealth of information for you to use.

May God be with you and yours in your journey of faith!

 

Cordially in the Lord.

Rev. Msgr. Michael D. McCarron
Pastor
