On Tuesday, February 16, St. Stephen experienced some broken pipes that caused some flooding and damages to the church building that need to be repaired. After discussing with the Diocese, we were advised NOT to hold any Mass in the flooded church until it is worked on.

In the interim, beginning Friday, February 19, 2021, St. Stephen will live-stream all Masses via our Facebook page and website. It is our hope that when the weather improves and the roads are safe for travel, we will be able to meet in the Parish Hall until the repairs are made in the main church building.  We hope all repairs will be completed by the end of February.

Please join us for Mass either in person or via live stream.  Starting Tuesday, September 8, 2020, weekday Masses, including the Saturday 5:30 PM Vigil Mass, will NO LONGER be live streamed. Only the Sunday 9:00 AM Mass and the 11:00 AM Spanish Mass will be live streamed.  You will be able to view the Mass on the website home page or on our Facebook page at www.facebock.com/saintstephenchurchsalado
