This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 20, 2020. The 2020 theme is “I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you”.
On Catechetical Sunday, we not only honor and bless those whom the community has designated to serve as catechists, we also honor and bless the role of parents, grandparents, and guardians in their role as primary catechists of their children.
Join us at Mass for Catechetical Sunday and rededicate yourself to this mission as a community of faith.

Sacrament of Baptism Ministry
Baptize all the Nations in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” –Matthew 28:19
Each and every time a child is welcomed into God’s Family it is a blessing, not only for the child and his or her family, but for all of us. You could have the privilege of witnessing these grace-filled moments by being part of our Baptism Ministry Team at St. Stephen.
We are in need of Baptism Coordinators to help with hospitality and assisting during the Sacrament of Baptism celebration.
Baptism Day: On the day of Baptism, the Baptism Coordinators welcome parents, family and friends as they arrive, arrange seating and answer any questions or concerns they might have regarding the celebration. The Baptism Coordinators also set-up and assist our Priest or Deacons.
For more information, please contact Rosie Bridges at the Office of Faith Formation, 813-671-4434.
