Congratulations to the Class of 2020! We are very proud of you and are so happy to have you as new members of the Bona’s alumni family. Welcome!

Along the way, we all learn the disappointing and sometimes tragic lesson, depending on the circumstances, that things just don’t always work out the way we expect. Everyone learns this valuable life lesson and that the only path forward is to trust in God’s plan. You, dear Class of 2020, are ahead of the curve. Today, you are digesting this valuable lesson, not as individuals, but together as the Class of 2020.

Know that you are surrounded by a bounty of love, prayers and support from those of us who have come before you. I am full of gratitude to be part of your graduation. We are all Bonnies through and through.

The world needs the Spirit of Francis and there is no group better equipped to bring it forward than St. Bonaventure University’s Class of 2020. It’s your time to shine Bona grad, shine on!
