St. Stephen, Martyr Roman Catholic Church is faithful to the fullness of the teaching of the Catholic Church and dedicated to the new Evangelization called for by St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
Under the pastoral care of Fr. Brian Rafferty, the Parish has become one of the fastest growing Catholic parishes in Virginia. Under the patronage of St. Stephen, the first deacon and martyr of the Church, we look to him as an example of living faith, loving service, vibrant witness, holiness and heroic virtue at the beginning of the Third Christian Millennium.
Baptized into the Body of Christ, nourished by word and sacrament, celebrating our faith in the Catholic tradition, we are the people of St. Stephen, Martyr. We are called to create a community in the image of Jesus: led by the Spirit, rich in forgiveness, committed to service, working for justice, a place of peace! For this, we give thanks.
