Youth Ministry at St. Stephen's

Renewing the Vision, the framework for Catholic Youth ministry provides the blueprint for meaningful youth ministry at St. Stephen's.  We focus on "three important goals: to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ; to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Church; and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person."

The Youth Advisory Committee made up of teens and adults, plans a wide variety of activities that incorporate the ministries of advocacy, catechesis, community life, evangelization, justice & service, leadership development, pastoral care, and prayer & worship.

Our Annual service trip to St. Francis Inn in Philadelphia is one of the highlights of our Youth Ministry year.  Read more about the great ministry that unfolds at the Inn in their publication entitled, The Pilgrim.
