Stephen Robert Joseph Thomas

Archbishop Stephen Robert Joseph Thomas
October 13, 1950 July 20, 2023
Stephen was born in Gary, Indiana. He expressed a lifelong love of the Lord and dedication to the Church. Even as a
child he only wished to serve the Church, first as an altar boy, Deacon, Priest, and eventually Bishop.
He spent his ministry championing the rights of the marginalized, caring for the homeless, and emulating the love of Christ.
He leaves behind no living relatives but all of us who knew him know that to him friends were family. We will all miss your laugh.
Memory Eternal!
