Los Angeles Kirchweih

There are few events that bring back parishioners more than the
celebration of St. Stephen's founding - Kirchweih. It seems that everyone
comes together to participate in some way. The kitchen staff gets up early
to prepare hundreds of Schnitzel lunches. The Kirchenchor seems to sing
just a little sweeter. Father John makes sure that he selects just
the right tone and words to inspire his full house. The kids, old and
young, get dressed in their Tracht and show off their dances while Omas
and Opas smile. The Kirchweih Strauss gets auctioned away in support of
the dance group and it's activities - thank you to all! It's just a great
day!
