St Stephen Fall Festival
OUR FALL FESTIVAL
Our Fall Festival is a fundraiser for the Youth Ministry here at St. Stephen in Bradshaw. The monies raised help fund the many programs, events, and trip opportunities to help the youth learn about and grow closer in their relationship with God.
Our Fall Festival is fun for the whole family! Come join the fun! Kids can come meet some volunteers from Kingsville Volunteer Fire Department and get an upclose look at a firetruck!There will be pumpkins and plants for sale, face painting, games, a moon bounce, baked goods, vendors, and more! There will be food available for purchase including pit beef, pit turkey, hot dogs, and pizza. There will be raffles (including 50/50) and school spirit baskets.
Our Fall Festival would not be possible without volunteers! If you would like more information on volunteering, please click here! It is a great way for grades 7 - 12 to earn service hours and a great way for adults to be a part of a great community!
OUR YOUTH MINISTRY
Our Youth Ministry program helps our youth of today grow in their faith and grow closer to God.
There are many ways we encourage our youth to develope their faith and serve our community. Youth in grades 7th and 8th are invited to Friday Night Light program where a fun activity is often included whether it is a scavenger hunt or a project to help those in need. Youth in grades 7 - 12 participate in fun activities including service projects like our Fall Festival and a'MAZE'ing Day- this years theme is Starr Warz.
Youth in grades 9 - 12 are invited on trips including BYCC and NCYC where they join other like-minded youth from across Baltimore and the the country . BYCC is an acronym for the Baltimore Youth Catholic Conference where the young church of the Archdiocese of Baltimore gather to experience the larger church at a weekend long conference in Ocean City, MD. It is celebrated during the "even" years. NCYC is an acronym for the National Catholic Youth Conference which is a powerful, 3 day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for more than 20,000 Catholic teenagers and their adult chaperones. It is celebrated during the "odd" years.
