Empowering young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today Drawing young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community Fostering the personal and spiritual growth of each young person. There is a popular phrase about how the youth are the future of the Church. We must reach the youth of today where they are . We have a youth center designed just for them, where they can gather to play pool, ping-pong, enjoy video games, socialize and build community as one Body of Christ. We meet every Sunday evening for lively discussions and socializing.
Youth are very spiritual by nature.
Yes, they enjoy playing games and socializing, but they have a deep sense of faith and commitment. The Senior Youth of St. Stephen are involved in countless service projects within the Church community as well as outside of their own backyards. They are involved in liturgical ministries and are quite visible at Sunday Mass as well as other liturgical celebrations. Friends are always welcome to youth group events. Our Junior High Youth Group meetings are fun and crowded.
