News & Information:If you have any questions please contact:
Selina Valencia (Youth Minister) @ 403-415-5223 (call or text) You can also look her up on 'Facebook add me' and she will add you to the St. Stephen's Youth Page. Christus Vivit!
The Vatican has published the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christus vivit ("Christ Lives"), addressed to young people and the entire People of God. The document was prepared drawing inspiration from the reflections and conversations of the Synod on Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment held in October 2018. Right from the opening lines of the Exhortation, the Pope calls on youth to recognize and embrace God's love and their special role in the Church. "The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith... And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us." The document is currently available online from the Holy See, and CCCB Publications will have printed copies of the document available for sale shortly. Consider SJC
