Bound to the Bishop of Knoxville, in union with the Holy Father, Pope and Bishop of Rome, the parish of St Stephen of Chattanooga strives to grow in truth, love, and unity, as proclaimed by Scripture and Tradition, in accordance with the Magisterium. As members of St. Stephen Church, we understand that each of us is called to grow in the knowledge and practice of our Catholic faith. This growth is accomplished through continued Catholic education at all age levels and in service to others by the giving of time, talent, and treasure. Continued growth in our Christian faith will create a welcoming community, united in the spirit of love, which will bring forth the Kingdom of God in our midst.
