    For more than 20 years, St. Bonaventure University and Mt. Irenaeus have brought the spirit of the Mountain to alumni communities across the country, creating opportunities to reconnect, reflect and share in the Franciscan tradition.

    Each gathering offers a taste of the Mountain experience, including a prayer service or liturgy followed by time for conversation and fellowship. It’s a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, make new connections and experience the welcoming sense of community that makes the Mountain so special.
