Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministers are the after people - they walk one on one with someone who has experienced a life disruptor - after the funeral, after the diagnosis, after the job loss, after the divorce, or after a tragedy. Those who are serving as Stephen Ministers are trained to provide one-to-one confidential Christian care to those individuals who may be experiencing a life crisis for up to a year following the crisis.
We have over 2200 families and one priest. This ministry is an extension of Fr. Albert's pastoral care.Stephen Ministry Is Ready to Provide Care
Do you know someone who needs a one-to-one Christian caring presence in their life while they face a life crisis or life change? Our Stephen Ministers finished their 50-hour training program and are ready to begin providing care. This ministry provides a listening ear when someone needs support as they face the death of a loved one, cancer, divorce, a move, terminal illness, or long-term caregiving. If you need support or know someone, please ask them if you can send an email to Stephen Ministry on their behalf. Send an e-mail to Diana Jetter that includes their name and information.

A Stephen Minister can be with you while time helps to heal the wounds. If you are interested in receiving care, contact Diana Jetter or complete the form below.
