MinisTREE
Our mission at Saint Bonaventure is to Love God—Love Others—Make Disciples, and our active and vibrant community animates this. We all hold our parish's ministries in our hearts and carry out its mission with our hearts, hands, and resources. The MinisTREE program is an excellent opportunity to come together and help out with needed tasks and funding items not included in our regular budget. During Lent this year, MinisTREE cards with requests from our ministries are displayed on grids in the center of our Gathering Space and listed below if you would like to participate online. This page will be updated to reflect requests that are fulfilled.
We are beyond grateful that our community has been very generous to the MinisTREE program over the years, funding many unique things such as the matching green dalmatic our deacons wear during Ordinary Time or the new chairs in the confessionals. This program has also grown our volunteer base and helped to complete many needed tasks.
