St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church - Washington

Saint Stephen Martyr Parish was founded in 1867 to serve the Catholic Community of Foggy Bottom and the West End of Washington, D.C. Our mission statement describes us well: “An oasis in the City – a diverse, welcoming Catholic community; dedicated to beautiful worship, spiritual growth and caring.” Our diverse community includes several hundred registered members from our immediate area as well as the larger metropolitan area.

The Parish emphasizes beautiful music to enhance the Liturgy. We are gifted with the talent of University music students, graduates and faculty.

We promote participation in various local ministries, including the Grate Ministry, which distributes food and drink every Saturday and Sunday, in the early morning, to persons living on grates, under bridges, in parks and the nooks and crannies of buildings.
