Rev. Robert A. Stepek

I only found out about Father Stepeks passing today. To his family, I was a parishioner of his at St. Christina's. In 1990 he saved my life. What He did for me I have never forgotten. He truly showed me the compassion, caring, and the love of Christ when I was in a very dark place, he truly made the Church for me a place of refuge and light, for those rejected and those who have no one and no where else to turn. God bless Father for saving me. Donna M

I had the privilege of working alongside Fr. Bob at St. Christina Church back in the 1980's, helping out with the parish Teen Club. He was a warm, loving, caring, generous man who changed so many peoples' lives for the better, including mine. I will always be thankful for the fun times we all spent with him. Rest In Peace, Fr. Bob!

My sister, Carolyn Farmer, I am sure, welcomed her dear friend with open arms in heaven. St Albert The Great was in its glory when Carolyn was the music director and Father Stepek was the the pastor. Their memories will always live on.

Dear Stepek Family,
My prayers and thoughts are with you. Bob and I were classmates at Niles College-Loyola University (1974-75). He was a wonderful friend with an infectious smile. Bob, you are missed but will see you when we meet again in God's presence my friend!

Dear Stepek Family,

Father was a godsend during one of the most difficult times in my life. He brought strength, support and most importantly, friendship to my family, especially my husband. He was a wonderful man that will truly be missed.

May your family find comfort knowing of all the good you brought to others.
