St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church

About this church

St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church in Louisville has a Saturday Vigil at 4 p.m.; Sunday liturgies start at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Monday Mass begins at 6 p.m., followed by Eucharistic Adoration and confession until 7:30. Daily Mass Tuesday through Friday is offered at 8:15 a.m. This Monday sequence gives working visitors a weekday evening option for Mass, prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, and reconciliation in one trip.

Preparations for the parish began in 1948, and its first Mass was celebrated in June 1950 alongside the first parish festival. The church marked its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2023. Adult ministry combines Catholic teaching, faith reflection, group prayer, and praise. The T.O.S.S. youth program serves grades six through eight as a safe, supervised setting for friendship, faith leadership, honesty, and service. Young parishioners can also participate in age-appropriate liturgical and community ministries, and Vacation Bible School draws volunteers into storytelling, art, games, music, refreshments, and prayer. Inter-Parish Family Faith Formation provides another route for households. A newcomer can start at any weekend Mass; families looking for formation should use the current calendar because youth, sacramental, and inter-parish dates do not necessarily recur every week.
