EVANGELIZATION STEERING TEAM
The Evangelization Steering Team is a sub-committee of the Parish Pastoral Council with the responsibility to help the parish community to understand its need for conversion and mission.  Through prayer, study, and dialogue, the team develops concrete plans to help evangelize the active parish community and to reach out to those who no longer participate or who are non-churched. Eventually, the team will develop an appropriate process to reach out to those who have no clear faith in God or Jesus.  We are seeking a coordinator for this ministry.

MULTI-CULTURAL TASK FORCE           
A sub-committee of the Pastoral Council originally set up in November 2003 as an advisory group task force designed to connect with the Spanish-speaking members of our parish community and its leadership group. It has developed to continue to expand connections with various cultural groups in our multicultural St. Bonaventure community. This committee consists of representatives from the Parish Council, Pastoral staff, Filipino-American, Hispanic and Indian leadership groups.  We welcome all other ethnic cultural groups who may wish to participate in various parish events.  We are seeking a coordinator for this ministry.
