WELCOME TO
SAINT STEPHEN'S
An Episcopal Parish in the Anglo-Catholic Tradition
S. Stephen’s, a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island, proudly stands within the Anglo-Catholic tradition with the Mass or the Eucharist as the center of our common life. We are young and old, rich and poor, single, married, and divorced, straight and gay, confident in our faith and full of questions. What we share is a love of Jesus, and a desire to grow in love of God, neighbor, and self. Please know how welcome you are in this community of faith! ​
WORSHIP WITH US
Worship is the heartbeat of our parish. Our liturgy is steeped in ancient and timeless traditions, complemented by a vibrant music program at sung masses. We hope to see you at an upcoming service.

GET INVOLVED
Beyond Sunday worship, we encourage S. Stephens’ members and non-members to take advantage of the fullness of parish life. Our vibrant community offers adult formation, a student and young adult group, and a variety of ministries that you’re heartily invited to participate in.
Opportunities to share our blessings include the Epiphany Soup Kitchen, for which we are the hosts. Many of our service opportunities support our unique form of worship while participants enjoy fellowship with others.
