You know. It's in Luke. The angel greets Mary as "full of grace." At least he does in the Vulgate. Protestants tend to mistranslate this one.
And the Vulgate is your personal Bible? (Also in Douay Rheims) How many "Catholic Approved" Bibles do the same? And Stephen?
Acts 6:
[8] And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

Acts 6: [8] And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. But...but...that FULL OF GRACE can't mean the same as the OTHER FULL OF GRACE, for it was not speaking of the one we pray to.

So is it all right to start praying to Stephen now?

Do you doubt that Stephen was full of grace at this point?
The importance is not that Mary was made full of grace, it is that she was this way before Jesus was even sacrificed. She was the first to be saved.
Nowadays, any newly-baptised Christian is full of grace. Likewise any Catholic as he emerges from Confession.
