Faith grows in community. Youth & Family Ministries at St. Bonaventure Parish offers welcoming opportunities for children, teens, young adults and families to connect, grow in faith and discover a place to belong.
Each program has its own focus, schedule and leadership, but all share one mission: to help young people and families encounter Christ, build meaningful relationships and live their Catholic faith at home, at school and in our parish community.
Explore our current programs below and discover what may be right for you or your family.
Ablaze Youth Nights are a place for young people in Grades 6–12 to have fun, build friendships, ask honest questions and grow in faith.
Each Friday night, youth come together to play games, share food, learn about the Catholic faith and spend time in prayer. Whether you already feel at home in the Church, are searching for answers or are simply curious, you are welcome.

Our summer camps give children and young people opportunities to make friends, enjoy games and activities, explore their faith and create lasting memories in a joyful Catholic environment.

Our young-adult community offers opportunities for Catholic young adults to form friendships, deepen their faith and become more connected to parish life.
Young-adult initiatives have their own gatherings, leadership and areas of focus while remaining an important part of the wider mission of Youth & Family Ministries. Opportunities may include faith formation, prayer, fellowship, service, special events and pilgrimages.
The young-adult community is also preparing for World Youth Day. A dedicated World Youth Day page will provide information about the pilgrimage, meetings, fundraising and important updates as plans develop.
