Interfaith Day 2020
St. Stephen Catholic School Principal Linda Umoh will host the fourth annual Interfaith Day on Thursday, February 6. Today more than ever, Umoh sees a need to eradicate fear and ignorance among Americans and she believes that Interfaith Day is a strong step in that direction.
The St. Stephen Catholic School mission states that we will help our young people, ‘continue Jesus’ mission.’ More than 400 students have been ushered through through a multi-faith experience over the last three years.
The Taoist Tai Chi Society from Brandon will begin the day with a historical overview of Tai Chi and lead a sample class of movements for all students. Following Tai Chi, students from each school will educate their peers about their respective faiths. After all the faith presentations, Jana Broder of Drum Magic will lead a drum circle to inspire unity among the students. Students will enjoy lunch together.
After lunch, the Interfaith panel of religious leaders will answer questions from the students. Elizabeth Bunbury from the Answered Prayers Project will present to students on unity and loving one another. Muslim guests will have time and space dedicated for their Prayer Service and all students will depart with a commemorative pen with the Interfaith Day logo.
