BEST BUDDIES PROGRAM

Did you know that Brennan has a Best Buddies Chapter?

Best Buddies Canada is a national charitable organization dedicated to enhancing our communities through one-to-one friendships between people with developmental and intellectual  disabilities or those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and student volunteers.

Best Buddies is an international program founded in 1988 by Anthony Kennedy Shriver, nephew to former president John F. Kennedy.  Today the program operates in elementary, high school, colleges and universities.

Best Buddies is about making a difference in the lives of students!
Best Buddies Programs help increase a sense of self-worth which may lead to students securing successful jobs, learning how to ride public transportation, etc. 
Our program is about equity and inclusion.

At Brennan, students meet mostly on Thursday's for lunch. Following lunch students engage in conversations, play games, listen to music etc. 





From: MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD CHURCH (Youth Ministry)

There will be a leader gathering for high school students on Monday Sept. 18th at 6:30 p.m.

Mark your calendars!

Upcoming Vocations Event:
 
Jeremiah Day Soccer Challenge: Saturday, September 23 from 10am-3pm
Last month, Philip Mulryne, a professional soccer player for Manchester United was ordained a priest.  He dared to take some time to reflect on where God was calling him in life.  The story of the prophet Jeremiah tells us that it is never too early to think about God's plan for us.  The Jeremiah Day Soccer Challenge is a day for young men (grades 8 to 12) to grow closer to God and to visit St. Peter's Seminary.  The activities include a tour of the seminary, Mass of Ministries, lunch, soccer tips from Bishop Dabrowski and a soccer game with our seminarians in the afternoon. Please register by contacting Fr. Patrick Beneteau at vocations@dol.ca or 519-432-1824 ext. 204.
