Hello Everyone! I hope your Pentecost Sunday was as good as ours at
SLOPE night! The topic of discussion was on Evangelization and the Holy
Spirit. Youth learned about the background of Pentecost, what the apostles
were thinking and going through as they were huddled together in the upper room. The main point of the
night was for youth to think of the Holy Spirit as their constant abiding companion. And that the Holy
Spirit is a driving POWERFUL force (not some cute little dove). We also put many of the fears of evangelization to rest. Things like: I don’t know how to evangelize (you don’t have to; the holy spirit will give you
the words to say). I am afraid to share Jesus with others (who do you think that fear is coming from? It is
definitely not from God). I fear that I might make things worse for the other person and “turn them off”
and mess up their salvation (you can’t turn off what is already off). I am a huge sinner, I don’t want to be
a hypocrite (Well everyone is a sinner, and you can use your personal story of finding a savior in the
midst of sin to evangelize even better!). The youth were left just as the apostles were left by Jesus, to go
out and spread the good news of Jesus Christ through the whole world! We all have the help of the Holy
Spirit in our mission of evangelization, our greatest advocate!
May 22nd is the last SLOPE night. We will be having a BBQ, followed by field games and then goodbyes.
Please refer to the website for all of our Summer Events and Activities. Also, sign up for Flocknote and
join the SLOPE youth ministries group for fun events like hiking and movie nights. Thank you all so much
for your sacrifices and bringing/dragging your children to SLOPE night every Sunday! We had a great
year! God Bless our youth at St. Stephen Church and School!
Sincerely, Ben Ziemann

A Huge thank you from the Art Teacher….
I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people that helped make
the art show possible. There are so many! First, to Wendy Vanderhoof that
helped get the word out about the show. Without her, no one would ever
know. Bree Anderson, as she does every year, helped me to get the
works taped to colorful paper for display, and for all her support throughout the years. Chris McSwain, typed all the names you see on the tags, as
well as helped with all the little details. Laura Fetko-Shea, Anne-Marie Kelley, and a few seventh and eighth graders helped to hang the artwork
throughout the room. Not an easy feat! Elise Hillbrand, Kelly Hillbrand,
Laura Carter, Guy Brickell, and Kari Kuersten who graciously volunteered
to man a “Creation Station” at the show. Rosemary O’Connor for ALWAYS
helping me in the front office with
copies, lamination, photos, and all
the other wonderful things she
does for all of us on a daily basis.
Thank you to all the teachers and administration for supporting me
throughout the year. To parents, for valuing the visual and performing arts
in their child’s education and
coming to support your children’s
hard work. Lastly, thank you to
my students for always inspiring
me to become a better teacher,
and by giving me your smiles and
hugs each day. I hope that you
will always carry with you a lifelong love of art!  Artfully yours,
Mrs. Rosario Young
