Historic Charleston Foundation Tours

St. Stephens is included in the annual springtime Historic Charleston Foundation Festival of Houses and Gardens, as part of the Anson Street tour. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit Historic Charleston Foundation.

Advent and Lenten Quiet Days

Our Rector or other clergy offer half-day retreats held in the church, typically during Advent and Lent. Quiet Days offer a series of reflections on a theme from Holy Scripture or on a theme appropriate to these sacred seasons on our church calendar, interspersed with long periods of quiet for prayer and meditation. These retreats end with a simple meal and time for fellowship and reflection.

Spirited Brunch

St. Stephen’s participates in the annual culinary-themed tour of Charleston’s prayerful spaces. Parishioners serve a traditional Charleston appetizer, tea, and lemonade to visitors in our beautiful garden.
