"Die Katholische Pfarrkirche "St. Stephanus" an der Stefanstraße in Leimersdorf wurde am 14. November 2010 nach mehr als einjähriger Renovierungszeit von Weihbischof Robert Brahm, Pastor Robert Görres und Dechant Jörg Meyrer feierlich nach altem Ritus wieder eingeweiht. Im Mittelpunkt der Renovierung stand die Neugestaltung des Altarraumes mit einem von Christoph Anders geschaffenen Zelebrationsaltar mit Motiven von St. Stephanus und St. Paulus. Der in Senheim an der Mosel lebende Bildhauer gestaltete den Altar aus hellem Westerwald-Trachyt. Der Boden ist im Altarbereich ebenfalls mit diesem Trachit belegt, "sodass der Altar als Kubus mit einer Seitenlänge von einem Meter gleichsam aus dem Boden wächst und mit dem Ambo aus dem gleichen Material eine harmonische Einheit bildet."

Eine besondere Zeremonie im Rahmen der Wiedereinweihung des Altars im November 2010 war die Beisetzung der Reliquien des Märtyrers St. Candidus und der Märtyrerin St. Amantia, die bereits im alten Altar ihren Platz hatten, sowie der Reliquie des heiligen Simeon von Trier, die vom Bistum Trier für den neuen Altar zur Verfügung gestellt worden war. Der Trierer Bischof hatte die Reliquien wenige Tage zuvor im Beisein von Pastor Robert Görres in ein Kästchen eingesetzt und versiegelt. "

"The Catholic parish church "St. Stephanus" on Stefanstrasse in Leimersdorf was solemnly rededicated on 14 November 2010 after more than one year of renovation by Auxiliary Bishop Robert Brahm, Pastor Robert Görres and Dean Jörg Meyrer according to the old rite. At the centre of the renovation was the redesign of the chancel with a celebration altar created by Christoph Anders with motifs of St. Stephanus and St. Paulus. The sculptor, who lives in Senheim on the Moselle, designed the altar made of bright Westerwald trachyte. The floor in the altar area is also covered with this trachite, "so that the altar grows out of the ground as a cube with a side length of one meter and forms a harmonious unit with the ambo made of the same material".

A special ceremony during the rededication of the altar in November 2010 was the burial of the relics of the martyr St. Candidus and the martyr St. Amantia, which already had their place in the old altar, and the relic of St. Simeon of Trier, which had been made available by the Diocese of Trier for the new altar. The Bishop of Trier had placed the relics in a small box and sealed them a few days earlier in the presence of Pastor Robert Görres. "
