What People are Saying

"I didn't know what to expect from my Stephen Minister, but he put me at ease. I had a friend I could trust who really cared about me. My caregiver showed me how to work things out for myself and had the patience to let me do it."

"When I really needed a friend, my Stephen Minsiter was there. We cried together a lot, prayed together, talked and now we laugh together."

"I wanted answers and she asked questions. She knew how to see things a new way and her questions helped me find my own answers. I thought God had forgotten me, but my Stephen Minister helped me grow close to God. She loves me. So does God. So do I."

 

 

The name Stephen
comes from
St. Stephen,
the first layperson commissioned by the Apostles to provide caring ministry to those in need.
