44446 Rev. Richard Murphy,
Pastor
Deacon Frank Marino
St. Stephen Church
MISSION STATEMENT: We are St. Stephen Church in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. Since 1853, we have served the community of Niles. Through our Baptism, we are called to build our lives in the image of Christ through worship and prayer, in Word and Eucharist. Together we draw others close to God through our service, charity and evangelization. In a spirit of stewardship, we share our time, talent and treasure with the faith community and for future generations.
HERE AT ST. STEPHEN: In accordance with the Ohio Health Department protocol, unvaccinated persons must wear a mask in church. Fr. Murphy asks that all lay ministers, greeters and ushers wear them as well. All others are strongly encouraged to do so. With the recent surge in cases, it might be in everyone’s best interest to wear a mask in the church; not only to protect the congregation, but also Father Murphy, and by extension, his mother and recovering brother. While we want things to get back to normal, we also want to be cautious as we see how everything plays out. We will adjust as we can. We ask for your patience and understanding as we assemble as safely as we know how.
PRAYER LIST:We would like to offer everyone the opportunity to pray for our fellow parishioners and friends who are ill or in need of prayer for any reason. If you would like to add someone
to the list, please call the rectory and leave a message and we will add the requested person. Please remember the following in your prayers: Nancy Snider, Fred & Dorothy Bianco, Don Donnelly, Nancy Jayne, Chuck Jorza, Marguerite Kovach, Alida Lendvay, Patricia McMahon, David Holmes, Adelbert Durig, Mary Beth Havasi, Janet Kandrac, Sue Kopetsky, Jim Ogden, John Walsh, Dale Havaich, John Wilson, Kathy DeCristofaro, Mitzi Malvasi, Lou Lukz, Jennifer Cable, Michelle Howard, Jo Medovich, Keith Burke, Janeen Wukotich, Cass Tabor, Geri Kohn, Kevin Grafton, Mary Catherine Freel, Marty Schimley, Kevin Murphy (Father Murphy’s brother), Kara Stanford, June Dudinec, Mark Thou, Janice Rayle, Arlene Wilson, Mary Miller, Mike Diamond, Bob Leonard, Josephine Furano, Mike Kozak, Bob Adler, Hallie Moody, Angela Marzullo, Jacqueline Whetstone, Jim Sylvester, Mary Russo, Joe Smaltz, doctors, nurses, first responders and all who have been affected in any way by the Coronavirus, especially those who have no one to pray for them.

The people in the district of the Decapolis knew that the deaf man needed healing, and so they brought him to Jesus. As those who also know the healer – who know our Lord – let us bring our needs and those of others to Him.
LITURGY OF THE WORD In the first reading, the Lord says that He has come to save His people, including making the deaf hear and the blind see. In the second reading, James tells the Christian community not to show partiality to those who are rich, nor to discriminate against the poor. In the Gospel, Jesus heals a deaf man to the great astonishment of the crowd near the Decapolis.

HAITI RELIEF The Diocese of Youngstown is calling upon Catholics and others of good will to support the efforts of CRS (Catholic Relief Services) in addressing the recent natural disaster in Haiti. CRS is sending teams to provide clean water, sanitation, shelter, and emergency supplies in response to a major earthquake that struck southern Haiti on Saturday, August 14. While the severity of the damage is still being determined, and communications are down in parts of the country, over 1,200 deaths have already been reported as well as extensive damage to buildings and homes. Area Hospitals have been overwhelmed by the disaster, pushing them to capacity and forcing them to turn away people in need. Meanwhile, many roads are impassable due to landslides and cracked pavement. CRS field staff are identifying critical needs and coordinating the delivery of life-saving supplies. Based on past CRS disaster relief efforts, taps, blankets, medical equipment, food, and other emergency supplies will be critical over the next several weeks. The recent earthquake comes on the heels of back-to-back crisis, including an ongoing battle with COVID-19, political and economic instability, increasing hunger and gang violence. We will have an additional collection bin available for the next two weeks for anyone here at St. Stephen who would like to support these efforts.
