St. Stephen's Episcopal Church differs from other Episcopal churches in the Napa Valley. It belongs…read moreto the conservative Anglican Province of Christ the King, which ordains neither women nor LGBT people. The services are very traditional. Originally, the church was a non-denominational sanctuary... back in the 1800s, before Calvary Chapel. The pastor is friendly and the congregation is somewhat welcoming. The BIGGEST problem is the parking. One has to be strategic in getting a good parking spot so one won't be boxed in as well as be an appropriate distance from the busy road. The Oakville Grade/Trinity Road is a scenic thoroughfare between the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, so one has to be careful. St. Stephen's is in a pleasant, scenic spot. It's a simple church in a spectacular setting.

Most importantly to us is the fact there is absolutely no politics from the pulpit. That drove us put of the Episcopal church which has turned into a political party rather than a church. I don't care what their politics are; I just don't want to hear them from the pulpit... I attend church to learn about the salvation of my soul and that is what I hear at St. Stephen's. We attend here whenever we are in town and have come to really miss is church when we are back East. We think of St Stephen's as our home church although we do not live here. The message and the people who practice it are the best!

I really enjoyed participating in mass with him and the other parishioners. May God continue to bless this parish, community, and their priests. I know there is alot of history here as I believe it was the first Catholic Church here in Napa. I believe there is also a connection with Beringer Vineyards during the coalition that the wine was provided by Beringer due to not having a liquor license or something of that sort.

There's a beautiful side chapel with the fully armed saint, and in the back there are some rather sad statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Joseph that could use some loving restoration. The stained glass windows of various saints are lovely. It's a place for contemplation among the vineyards. It's a spiritual oasis when it has places like Michael Chiarello's Bottega/NapaStyle as well as Thomas Keller's French Laundry, Per Se, and Bouchon down the street. While it's within earshot of Highway 29, it is a place of silence and beauty.

Now it is a place of prayer&spirituality. The main chapel is splendid in a simple way- with gold statues of Saints Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross flanking the altar. There is also a side chapel that adjoins the library. Every once in awhile, they host talks, such as Fr. Mark who gave a lecture on Harry Potter. The Carmelites are a friendly group. They also have a small gift shop, where one can donate to their Ugandan mission. It is a quiet place for prayer in the midst of Nature, overlooking the Napa Valley.
