Women's Sodality
The sodality is an organization of women that honors the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since 1962, St. Stephen's Sodality has served our parish in many ways. As a resource group, we have supplied volunteers for:
Altar Society; Meals on Wheels; Orange County Infirmary; Paruish Bazaar; Ecumenical Lunches; Cardinal's Appeal; Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets; Church Building Fund; Ecumenical Food Pantry; Parish Clerical Work; and many other projects.
Being a member of the Sodality offers opportunities to:
Honor the Blessed Mother as a group; meet other women in the parish; celebrate the traditions of our faith and hand them down to others; discuss our Catholic religion; be an example of faithful service to the parish; enjoy the fun of working together on various fund raisers; bring new ideas of what the Sodality might become here at St. Stephen's.
