One Faith. One Family. One Mission.
We believe that young people belong at the heart of the Church and that every child, teen and family should have opportunities to encounter Christ, grow in faith and know that they are deeply loved by God and His Church.
Our Catholic faith is not meant to be lived alone—or for only one hour each week. Young people
are not meant to grow up alone in their faith, and parents and grandparents are not meant to carry the responsibility of passing on the faith alone.Ablaze Family Ministries brings young people, parents, children, grandparents and our wider parish community together. It is a welcoming and joyful spiritual home where families can encounter Christ, choose to follow Him and discover the hope and purpose found in a life of faith.
Together, we are building a community that supports families at home, at school and in our parish. We share one faith, one family and one mission: to ignite faith, form disciples and help each person discover that they have a place in the life of the Church. -
A Welcome From Our Family Faith Coordinator
Hello! My name is Eilee
n Murdoch, and I am the Family Faith Coordinator at St. Bonaventure Parish. I am a wife, a mother of eight and have been part of this parish community for nearly 20 years.I genuinely believe that young people belong at the heart of the Church. My role is to help young people and families encounter Christ, grow together in faith and know that they are deeply loved and valued by our parish community.
I see Ablaze Family Ministries as something we build together as a parish family. I am excited to get to know you and your family as this ministry continues to grow and respond to the needs of our community.
Please reach out if you have questions, would like to become involved or simply want to learn more. Above all, please keep our young people, families and this ministry in your prayers.
