Congratulations to Our Confirmandi!
Congratulations to the young people in our parish who receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this weekend. May the Spirit active in your lives be a sign of the new Kingdom of God’s mercy in the world.
A special note of thanks to their parents and sponsors, who encouraged them to participate in our parish’s Confirmation preparation program “Called to Mercy: Confirming Young People for a Mission to Witness.” Also, much gratitude to the parish catechists who helped support the youth during our gathered session. |

No BASEBALL!
No wonder Spring is slow in coming – no BASEBALL at St. Bonaventure this year.
This particular activity involves so many participants;
we simply were not adequately prepared to roll out the first post pandemic season.
But, it’s not too early to start thinking about 2024.
Something for everyone to do:
Coordinators, umpires, coaches, players, assistant coaches, and everything else that goes with it. But first, we need organizers.
If you are interested to help plan and organize the 2024 season,
contact playball2024@st-bonaventure.ca |

Liturgy of the Word with Children
Sundays at the 10 AM Mass
Through the dedication of volunteers, we are fortunate to be able to invite children ages 4 to 9 to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word with their age and ability in mind. By providing a parallel celebration of the Liturgy of the Word, we help our youngest parishioners encounter the Lord, interiorize the message of the Sunday Gospel, and pray together. Please see the special pamphlet which describes Liturgy of the Word with Children in more detail.
Volunteers are needed to celebrate Liturgy of the Word with Children! Do you seek the Lord within the Scriptures? Are you at ease in the presence of children? Are you comfortable in front of a group? Do you have a couple of hours once or twice a month to prepare for the Liturgy of the Word? Or are you a young person that would like to read the scriptures, sing, or play an instrument? Are you able to gently assist with keeping a prayerful atmosphere? Then, you probably have the gifts necessary to serve in a variety of ways within this ministry. Kindly send an e-mail with your name and contact info to: admin@st-bonaventure.ca.
We will contact you to answer any questions you may have and provide training. Volunteer screening with a police background check is mandatory for this ministry. |

Donating Securities to the Parish Through the Archdiocese of Toronto
A donation of securities is one of the easiest and smartest ways to donate in Canada. When you donate to the Archdiocese of Toronto, you put stock in knowing that you are creating the greatest impact on the church and those we serve. Consider making a gift of securities to your parish or any one of our Archdiocesan charities.
With a gift of securities, you can receive an immediate donation receipt for the fair market value of the security. In addition, there is no capital gains tax applied to any benefit received from the sale of these securities. Listed securities include, stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
To donate listed securities, you can obtain our form, the Letter of Direction by visiting this link: https://www.archtoronto.org/en/offices-and-ministries/social-justice--outreach/development-and-sharelife/home/gifts-of-securities/ |

Prayer for the Ukraine
prepared by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops
God of peace and justice,
We pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at-risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen |
