Faith Life - Men for Others
Brebeuf College School is grounded in a deep friendship with Christ, which transcends all aspects of life in our community. From math, science, art to all extracurricular activities, Brebeuf College moves to bring our young men to a deeper understanding of themselves through God and to become a Men for Others.

kairos
Jesuit schools have long been noted for their retreats. They were central to St. Ignatius’s vision of education. He believed that Jesuit schools ought to educate the whole person: body, mind, and soul. We embrace Ignatius’s conviction that God can be found in all things, including the heart and mind of a young man. On Kairos we together explore the questions young men ask. We encourage them to listen to one another, talk openly, and to seek God in themselves, their families, and in one another. Furthermore, Kairos focuses on the Christian call to serve others. It is an important turning point for many young men; it becomes a time to refocus their lives on what matters most.
The Salesian Leadership Retreat
When St. John Bosco founded the Salesians in 1859, his mission was clear and simple: to be a friend -a friend to kids who were poor, kids who had been abandoned, kids who were at risk - and, in so doing, to be a friend to Christ. Today, this Catholic religious organization continues doing the work of the Lord in the spirit of its founder - with over 40,000 Salesian priests, brothers, sisters, and lay people working in 120 countries all over the world. The Salesian Leadership Retreat happens every fall and winter at Brebeuf and it is available to all grade eleven students.
The retreat is a gift from God that allows our young men to truly find God in every aspect of their lives.
St. Francis Table
Continuing the tradition of Brebeuf as a Man for Others, every Thursday, the 'Brebeuf Boyz' travel to downtown Toronto to the St. Francis Table to serve the poor food. This powerful initiative will help students explore the love of others while doing tasks that is very expressive to our school as a whole. The ministry of the Capuchin-Franciscan Friars and friends is committed to creating a Faith Community with the poor through direct services that preserve and enhance human dignity.
