Farewell to the Friars
The Church of Saint Bonaventure was founded on the principles of St. Francis: love and service to God and neighbor. Today our community actively lives out our mission to Love God - Love Others - Make Disciples. We are grateful for the Conventual Franciscan Friars who have been a part of our community, providing leadership, service, and ministry over 63 years. We had an event on Tuesday, June 8 to celebrate and honor all we have done together!
