St. Stephen Youth Ministry

M I S S I O N:

The Way Youth Group seeks to catechize and evangelize following the teachings of the Catholic Church. We desire to foster the love of God and cultivate disciples of Jesus Christ through faith, fellowship, and fun. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we aspire to serve our parish, our community, and the world by walking beside young people through their faith journeys.


All 6th grade - 12th grade students are welcome to join our events, socials, and gatherings! Check out our calendar below!

We will be having a parent meeting on Monday, March 3 at 7:00 PM in Rooms 1 & 2, right after Eucharistic Adoration.

Countdown finished!

We're excited to announce that we'll be using GroupMe for easier communication during Lent! Parents and students, please download the GroupMe app and join our group. This will help us send reminders and communicate more effectively with each other. Don't worry, we'll still use Flocknote for updates, but GroupMe will make it easier to stay connected.
