About this church
St. Stephen Catholic Church celebrates Mass at 4:30 p.m. Saturday and 8 and 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday at 451 Eucalyptus Drive in San Francisco. Monday through Saturday brings an 8 a.m. daily Mass. Saturday Confession begins at 3:30; two official schedule sections give the ending as either 4:30 or 4:40, and Confession is also offered thirty minutes before Sunday Masses. Visitors should therefore arrive near the beginning of the Saturday period or confirm the closing time directly. Monday Eucharistic Adoration follows Mass from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
The parish was established in 1950 and has served the Lakeside and surrounding neighborhoods through worship, Catholic formation, and community life. Faith formation includes preparation for Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, Confirmation, and adult initiation, with requirements and calendars varying by sacrament. Parish ministries create roles in liturgy, music, prayer, hospitality, education, fellowship, and service. The evening Sunday Mass offers a less common option for people unable to attend in the morning, while the daily 8 a.m. schedule gives weekday visitors a consistent anchor. Anyone planning around Confession should note the published endpoint discrepancy; the Mass times themselves are consistent across the parish's current schedule pages.
