 Hello Young Stewards and Families! 

Young Stewards Fall Mixer on Friday, September 27th

A message from one of our Young Stewards and organizers.

For those who don't know me, my name is Alexandra Sepsis and I am currently a sophomore at Saint Ignatius College Prep. I have been part of St. George my whole life and for the past three years, I have spent my Sundays with the Narthex committee at the candles. Through this I have grown my connection with the church and the community that it has given me. When I found out Young Stewards was being started, I was more than excited to become a part of something so amazing. With this, I would like to announce that on Friday, September 27, there will be a Young Stewards Fall Mixer in the gym! 

The event will be from 6:30pm-8:30pm and there will be pizza and desserts provided. Roula and I will spend some time talking about our plans and ideas for the upcoming year. We also want to hear what the kids want! We are very excited to see all of you and hope for a great year! 

Best regards, Alexandra Sepsis

Please RSVP to roulaarceo@me.com by Wed., Sept 25!
