Stephen Ministry is a lay ministry program that equips people to provide Christian care to those experiencing any type of life need.
Through a confidential, one-on-one caring relationship with a Stephen Minister, someone experiencing challenging times can receive the care and support that they need. As a lay ministry, this care is not designed to replace professional counseling, but rather is meant to offer a trained lay person to walk along side a fellow Christian who is experiencing pain.
Training takes place from September to May and upon completion of training the participants are commissioned through the parish. One of our trained Stephen Ministers will then be assigned to a parishioner who has made a request.
