You don’t have to grow in faith alone. St. Bonaventure offers a variety of opportunities to explore Sacred Scripture, deepen your Catholic faith, pray with others and build meaningful friendships within our parish community.
Whether you are new to Bible study, looking for a regular faith community, or simply hoping to deepen your prayer life, you are welcome to find a group that fits you.
Gather with fellow parishioners to explore the social teachings of the Catholic Church and discover how our faith calls us to respond to issues of justice, human dignity, solidarity and care for those in need. Through discussion, reflection and resources from Development and Peace – Caritas Canada, participants learn how Catholic Social Teaching can be lived out in our everyday lives and in the wider world.
