About this sermon

The day after Christmas marks the Feast of St. Stephen, the Church’s first martyr. Why is this significant, and what does it signal to the faithful? Dr. Matthew Bunson of EWTN News joins us to discuss St. Stephen’s life, his connection to key figures in Church history, and his enduring relevance today. We’ll also explore his ties to Notre Dame Cathedral, his patronage of deacons and stonemasons, and how his story continues to inspire believers.
