50 Years of St. Bonaventure Indian Mission: Impact, Service & Support for the Navajo Nation
In 2024, St. Bonaventure Indian Mission and School proudly marked 50 years of faithful service to the Diné (Navajo people). It was a time of deep gratitude — for every friend, supporter, staff member, and volunteer who has walked this journey with us.
Together, we’ve built a legacy of compassion rooted in faith, dignity, and community. As we look to the future, we remain committed to strengthening that foundation and expanding our reach—ensuring that the next 50 years bring even greater opportunity, hope, and healing to Navajo children, families, and elders.
