Stephen Ministry

"...and the angels came and ministered to him." (cf. Matthew 4:11)

That night my tears became their tears, my sorrows their sorrows, my joys their joys.

Is life more than you can handle right now?

There is no need to struggle alone. Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, to share God's love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress, or loneliness you may be experiencing. Stephen Ministers are compassionate laypersons from our parish who have been trained to accompany those in our midst who feel overwhelmed from a loss or crisis in their lives. We care in a Christ-centered and confidential manner to support our care-receivers one-on-one for as long as is needed.

If you feel that you or someone you know could benefit from a Stephen Minister, just call or email Norma Garza, 210-379-7874, [email protected] to find out more.

"Encourage one another and build each other up." (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:11)

Do you feel God is calling you to share your gifts of compassion, patience, mercy, gentleness, humility, strength and understanding?

Stephen Ministers exhibit a faith that is practiced in giving care to others. In giving that care in Jesus' name, they find that they are indeed blessed as well. They find such joy in listening, providing hope, and offering friendship to support to those in need.
