January 6 Epiphany Sign-Up
January 6 is Epiphany. We celebrate this Feast Day with a delictious Spaghetti dinner, served by our parish Men’s Group. After dinner we adjourn to the Worship Hall for a service of chanted Evening Prayer. This is a short but beautiful candlelight service. After the service, a special dessert is served in the Parish Hall: the traditional Epiphany cake. In many of the pieces of cake there are placed certain small objects wrapped in waxed paper. The person fortunate enough to find a doll is crowned the King or Queen of the Epiphany season, and serves as Joseph or Mary for the next Posada (or may designate someone).

Bring the family, and invite a friend.

About 12 of the St. Stephen’s community pitched in to help sort 5,000 pounds of food, which in turn will be distributed to homeless shelters around Santa Clara Valley, including St. Julie’s Food Pantry, and Sacred Heart on Alma. We worked hard, and had a great time. Click on the image below to see some photos of the event.
La Posada
On Saturday, December 4th the church and pre-school communities gathered to celebrate La Posada. We gathered in the Parish Hall / Classroom to sing a Christmas carol, and then went into the Worship Hall as we began the Posada procession. (Due to threat of rain, we chose not to hold it outside.) We then shared a delicious Mexican potluck dinner. Then the children enjoyed swinging at a piñata, filled with delicious candy treats. Back to the Worship Hall to sing more carols, and then a visit by St. Nicholas, who told his life story, and then shared chocolate coins with everyone. Check out the photos.

Rod, Andy, Dottie, and Larry led the effort to Hang the Greens around the church. Andy, Jordan and Janelle erected our Christmas tree. Enjoy this great photo album of the event.

Pet Blessing – 2010
What a fun event. We had 23 humans and 13 animals attend a wonderful celebration of St Francis Day. The weather was great. Judi Sato, Karen Cuffie, and Peggy Skinner provided a grand selection of outdoor seating under our oak tree, snacks for people and animals, and formal Certifications of Blessings for all of the pets.
