Friday, June 2nd, 2017 Hi Everyone! I Hope you all have had a fabulous week so far and have been enjoying the last few days or Mother Mary's month of May. With June right around the corner, and the St. Bonaventure Baseball League's annual BBQ and Finals Day coming up on the 24th, I would like to have some of the Youth Group be present at the BBQ with me. I think it would be great if we could have some t-shirts made up to represent our group. So this week, we will be spending some time designing logo's in the first hour of the drop in before we go outside to play any sports or setting up any activities inside. I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday after school! -Pete
Friday, May 19th, 2017 Hi Everyone! Due to the long weekend coming up the drop-in program's for Friday and Sunday will be cancelled this week. We will resume the elementary drop-in program on Friday, May 26th, and the high school drop in will resume Sunday, June 4th (the Sunday, May 28th we have our confirmation retreat which will be requiring the use of the hall during our drop in time). I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend this past weekend and is looking forward to wonderful and blessed long May weekend coming up! Please email if there are any questions! pdosman@st-bonaventure.ca God Bless!
Friday, April 28th, 2017 Hi Everyone, UPDATES:  This Friday I will be at St. Mike's teaching during the day, so I will be arriving to the church for approximately 3:30pm, but my parents (Mike and Jill) will be graciously helping me once again, so they will be there to help with the set-up and the beginning portion of the drop in until I can get there from school. Once I arrive, if the weather is nice, I would like to organize a pick-up soccer game or soccer-baseball game, for all of us to play and enjoy the nice weather together. Also, I am still working on a combination St. Bonnie's Youth Group Poster with all of the drawings that you all did for me during Lent and will hopefully have that completed for the drop in next Friday. Once again, if there are any parents or older youth who are willing to step forward and assist me with this programming or any of my other programming please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via my parish email: pdosman@st-bonaventure.ca.

Friday, April 28th, 2017 Hi everyone! For those of you who have been checking this blog, I apologize for the time delay in my posting for the month of April. Moving forward, I will be updating this blog much more regularly, so please pay attention to it for the most up to date information and announcements regarding Youth Ministry here at St. Bonaventure. Important Updates:  The elementary school drop in (Grade's 6-8)program has been a huge success so far and I hope to continue to see it grow as we move towards the end of the school year and into the summer. As the weather gets better I hope to move towards mixing in some outdoor activities in addition to the current indoor ones. Also, as the numbers for this drop in continue to grow I will be requiring more and more volunteers to assist me with set up and execution of activities. If you are a parent reading this and would be wiling to assist me please send me an email: pdosman@st-bonaventure.ca where I can begin the voluntee
Friday, March 31st, 2017 Hello everyone! My apologies for no confirmation blog posting last week regarding the drop-in. We are on for the drop-in this week, and we will begin at 3:00pm and run until 5:00pm. If there are any parents who are willing to assist and volunteer their time to be with me this week that would be fantastic. As we, prepare for Easter and are approaching the end of Lent, I would like to begin this week's drop-in program by taking the group through the Stations of the Cross in the Church. We will meet as we usually do in the Parish Hall and go as a group together over to the Church. If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and get in touch with me at: pdosman@st-bonaventure.ca. Hope to see all the same faces and some more new ones this week :)! God Bless!
Friday, March 17th, 2017 Hi Everyone! Because this Friday falls during March Break and there is no school this week, we will be cancelling the Drop-In for this Friday. I hope you all have an enjoyable and restful rest of the March break and will see you all Sunday at Mass, or next week at the Drop-In! Like always, if you have any questions or want to get in touch my email is: pdosman@st-bonaventure.ca! God Bless!
Friday, March 10th, 2017 A big thank you to all of the youth and parents who came out last Friday to support and make our gathering fun! Looking forward to seeing everyone and some new faces I hope again this week. We will be discussing some topics regarding Lent during our social this week, so make sure you know what you are giving up for Lent! Also, if anyone wants to bring their homework with them this week that would be great. We had some youth gathered in a little study session last week which was quite productive! See you all Friday at 3:15pm in the Francis Room!
