Each year our Parish Council advises the Pastor and Parish Life Director on the selection of a small group of organizations on which the parish will focus its outreach efforts on for the year.

SOYAPANGO HOPE SCHOOL PROJECT
We assist with the construction and tuition support of two schools in the barrios of San Salvador, El Salvador—an elementary school and high school for children who would not have an opportunity for education without these schools. St. Bonaventure has a “sister parish” relationship with Madre de las Americas Parish in Soyapango.

GARDEN PARK APARTMENTS
Located in the Monument area of Concord, this is a permanent supportive housing project serving formerly homeless families. It is a unique facility in that it is not temporary housing but “permanent” housing that frees families from the cycle of homelessness. Each family contributes 30–40% of their annual income but with a median annual income of $8,800, additional support is needed.

ST. CORNELIUS SCHOOL (RICHMOND)
St. Cornelius School in Richmond, California is a Catholic School in Richmond’s inner city with few financial resources. This is a multi-ethnic school which educates children from all ethnic backgrounds and of lower economic means. The area is one of great violence. This school is a safe haven as it is the only school in the area without violence.
