Through learning, worship, and community, the St. Stephen’s Religious Education program strives to support and supplement the work of families to raise children in the Catholic Faith. As faith is an ongoing, life-long journey, not an extra-curricular activity, parish children who attend public schools are encouraged to enroll in weekly religious formation classes every schoolyear from preschool through 8th grade. In addition to Sacrament preparation and religious teaching, our mission is to provide opportunities for children to personally encounter, know and proclaim Jesus.
Classes are held weekly on Tuesdays at 4:30 PM; or Wednesdays at 4:00, 5:30, or 7:00 PM.
