Welcome to the Website of St. Stephen Catholic Church!

 
 
 
 
Bishop Richard Stika, Fr. Gilbert Diaz
 
It is my hope that you find the information contained in this website helpful in learning  about our parish community.  Established in 1960, St. Stephen has grown to include  over 655 families.  St. Stephen is one of 12 parishes in the Chattanooga Deanery, a part of the Diocese of Knoxville, TN. 
       
Whether you are a long-time parishioner, a new member interested in becoming more involved in the parish, or someone discerning whether to join our community, I invite you to look more closely at St. Stephen.  We are a community of believers from all walks of life committed to working together to grow in faith and to build the Kingdom of God. 
 
There is always something happening at St. Stephen.  As you browse our website, you will find that we offer many activities for all age groups and varied interests and talents - from pastoral activities to social outreach; from sacramental preparation for children to adult faith formation - there is something for everyone.  Feel free to contact the Parish Office to find out more about these wonderful opportunities.
 
I invite you to join us to worship in the Celebration of the Mass, details of which you will find on this website.  Thank you for visiting us in cyberspace and I hope you will be inspired to visit us in person.  If there is anything that our Parish Community and/or the Pastoral Staff may assist you with, or if I can be of assistance to you or your family as your Pastor, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office at 423.892.1261, or via email
 

Yours in Christ,
 
Fr. Gilbert Diaz
Pastor
