The St. Stephen Faith Formation Ministry strives to enrich and challenge the lives of our adults, young people and children. We will provide them with the education and examples necessary to become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ in a loving and caring Christian community and in keeping with the vision statement of the Austin Diocese; and all those who are called to serve in the catechetical ministry of the church will work together to carry out our specific faith formation goals:
- Provide quality educational resources for all children, youth and adults;
- Meet and respect children and youth at their individual levels of understanding and faith develop development;
- Integrate prayer, Scripture and service;
- Welcome and involve parents in the faith formation of their children;
- Provide instruction and preparation for the receiving of the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation; and provide opportunities for service to the community at large through a variety of different programs.
