      <image:title>ABOUT - BRIEF HISTORY OF ST STEPHENS</image:title>
      <image:caption>An Episcopalian is a member of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Our church is a branch of the Anglican Communion, a worldwide group of Christians numbering over 40 million. St Stephens has grown with the community of Clifton Heights but at the time of its organization, was part of Upper Darby Township. It was on a Sunday afternoon, May 5th, 1872, that the Reverend James Brooks, the Rector of St Georges Church, 61st and Hazel Avenue, Philadelphia, held a service in the school house. The first celebration of Holy Communion was held on October 27, 1872/ The first class present for Confirmation was presented on November 14th and the first Baptism was administered on December 29th of the same year. On October 12, 1878, the cornerstone of the church buildng was laid by the Reverend William Stevens, Bishop of Pennsylvania. He consecrated the building on March 15, 1879. The cornerstone of the Parish Hall was laid by Bishop Stevens on October 9, 1880. Mr. Thomas Scott, Esq., the President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, built the Parish Hall in loving memory of his son. The Scott family lived in Aldan and were members of the Parish. Additions were built in 1958 and again in 1970.</image:caption>
