Pastoral Care

The vision and mission of Pastoral Care at St. Stephen's is to celebrate life's joys and bear one another's burdens and sorrows in fulfillment of God's command to love one another as God loves us. We seek to connect parishioners within the St. Stephen's community to provide a network of care in times of need.

Members of the Pastoral Care Committee strive to make sure members of our community and others are cared for in times of illness, family crisis, births, deaths, etc. There are many options available for you if you choose to take part in Pastoral Care. They include preparing and/or delivering food, providing transportation to Sunday services or to a medical appointment, phone calls, notes and cards, and visits to the homebound or those in the hospital.

If you have a special gift or talent that you'd like to offer, it's quite possible that you can apply it through this ministry. Most of the tasks have flexible time constraints, so you can make it fit your schedule. If you have questions, need help or support, or have a new idea for how we can help can continue to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world, please contact us at pastoralcare@ststephenshouston.org.
