There is a Story to be Told!
Welcome to the Society of St. Stephen. We are here to promote the awareness of one of Cleveland's greatest architectural treasures, St. Stephen Church. The story of the building of this church is the story of Cleveland and it's development in the early 20th century. This was the time of large scale immigration to Cleveland from Europe. As new immigrants established themselves in this country, the neighborhood church was the cornerstone of their community. The church was built with pride and craftsmenship seldom seen today.
