Grade 2
First Reconciliation
Parent Meeting
Today-October 15 at 4:00 pm
Parents of 2nd graders who will be receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time in December will meet in the Worship Space on Sunday, October 15, at 4:00 pm. Please come to hear more about Reconciliation, receive your Parent/Child packet and other information. Contact Sandy Kimmey, Director of Religious Education, at s.kimmey@stephen.org with questions or visit the Sacrament Preparation page of our website at https://stephen.org/sacraments/.
We are collecting diapers and wipes that may be donated throughout October and may be dropped off in the Gathering Space or School Commons. Thank you for your generosity.
Pray the Rosary with
Archbishop George J. Lucas
Please consider praying the rosary virtually with Archbishop Lucas over the lunch hour on Monday, Oct. 16, at 12:15 p.m. Simply go to the ArchOmaha Facebook page from wherever you are.
This is a great way for Catholics across northeast Nebraska to come together as One Church and to pray for young men and women in the archdiocese who are discerning priesthood and religious life. It is part of the October Rosary Rally, an effort by the Archdiocese of Omaha Vocations Office, in partnership with Spirit Catholic Radio, to pray 50,000 rosaries to foster vocations in the archdiocese .
Can't make it over lunch? This rosary will be available to playback at any time! Thank you for supporting vocations!
We Need More Trunks!
We have close to 100 families with over 200 trick-or-treaters signed up to come to this Spooktacular event! We need more volunteers to sign up to bring their vehicles and participate in passing out goodies. Do you have a local business or program you would like to advertise? This would be a great opportunity to share your information with our community!

At Better Together Tuesdays we come together as a community of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to grow in our Catholic faith and personal relationships with Jesus and each other. We know that we're better together and none of us have to try and grow in our faith alone.
So, what do we do? We do an activity or game together, and prayerfully learn about our faith and important topics that help us live it out. We hope to grow by intentionally praying together and talking about a particular aspect of the faith, and whatever it is we know we want to understand better. Contact Evan at e.collins@stephen.org or 402-861-4509 for more information.
