- March 25th, 2017 marks the 110th Anniversary of the St. Bon's Alumni Committee. Started in 1907 as "The Old St. Bonaventure's Association", the committee has seen several reincarnations through the years. As an all boys school for many years, the association has historically only involved the St. Bon's Old Boys. We are happy to now serve as a co-ed committee dedicated to connecting the St. Bon's Old Boys and the graduates of the "new" Jesuit-founded St. Bonaventure's College, which opened in 1999.
We regret to inform you of the passing of:
David Neville '66
Douglas Thompson '52
Peter Byrne '60
Hon. James A. McGrath, a founding Board member of St. Bon's in 1999
