All Are Invited to Stepping Stone’s Open House at Its New Facility by Joan Bednarczyk Stepping Stone Emergency Housing (shelter) has enjoyed a unique and signifi cant relationship with St. Stephen's since its board's inception in 2005. Fr. Mike has generously selected Stepping Stone as an almsgiving recipient; most of the original and current board members are parishioners; many others, including our kitchen volunteers as well as members of the WHO group, Stephen Ministers and individual donors have been instrumental in the success of reaching out to individuals experiencing homelessness in Anoka County. As a "thank you," Stepping Stone would like to invite you to its “new home." Because of you, and others like you, Stepping Stone has been able to move to a new facility and will be able to accommodate 60 residents instead of the 16 residents they could shelter in the old facility. This tremendous growth was most certainly a community eff ort bringing all kinds of folks together to work for one united and common goal - to love one another, as we have been loved. Please plan to attend the Open House on Sunday, November 11, from 2:00-5:00 p.m. at 3300 4th Avenue, Cronin Building #14 on the campus of the Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center. For more information call 763-323-7006 or visit www.steppingstoneeh.org. Come see what love in action can do!

Fostering Small Group Community D-groups are gender specific small groups of four to six High School students who meet every few weeks to talk about issues that matter to them in a faith context. We currently have 49 youth actively involved in eight different groups. Our High School Faith Formation program uses 45 catechists, those who volunteer to teach, to help our high school students deepen their faith and knowledge in preparation for Confirmation. St. Stephen’s Softball Team is a part of a Christian League. This is an opportunity for High School students to have fun with their friends while meeting others from surrounding Churches. Mission Trips are a vital component of our ministry with High School students. This past summer, 25 youth served in Joplin, MO, and 13 youth served the parish on the Red Lake Indian Reservation by leading vacation bible school. Next summer, we are planning two more mission trips to help the youth take their faith to the next level...putting it into practice! Summer Approximately 350 H.S. Youth are involved in one or more of these ministries!
