This group is open to the 60+ segment of the parish - singles, couples, men and women. The goals of "Steppin' Out" are: enriching lives by making social connections possible; reconnecting with old friends; encouraging members to share their time and talents; providing opportunities to take advantage of the resources of the Champaign-Urbana community and providing interesting travel adventures near and far.

The Welcome Committee hosts three dinners a year to include all new registered parishioners.

Welcome Committee members, as well as the priests, attend the dinners to answer questions about the church and school.
