It will be obvious when you come to St. Stephen Church on Saturday or Sunday that we were hard hit by Hurricane Ida. We lost the entirety of the roof to our school gym as well as much of the copper covering our gorgeous steeple.
We are already in the process of mitigating our damages and repairing things so that we can get our children back in school. The steeple might take a little longer to evaluate. Notwithstanding the forgoing, we have maintained our Mass schedule since the hurricane hit, although we had to move it around over the last two weeks. But beginning Monday, September 13, we will resume our normal Mass schedule at St. Stephen and St. Henry Churches.
Due to the storm and the numbers of people who evacuated, we are pushing the start of our fall adult education and our “Lord, Teach Me How to Pray” back one week. They will both begin next week.
