Christmas Outreach
The offering that we collect on Christmas Eve is used to support a local charity or organization each year. This year, since we will not be gathering in person, we are providing links to some organizations that we have a relationship with that can use our help, and ask you to please donate directly to that organization through the links below.
We also want to support the safety protocols put in place by our Provincial Health Officer and encourage you to stay home and stay safe by giving online or by mail directly to the organization of your choice. Please do not make your donation through St. Stephen's as the extra administrative time involved means that your donation will not get where it needs to go by Christmas.
