Mountain on the Road

Fr. Dan Riley, OFM, leads a Mountain on the Road gathering:
• Welcome and Prayer
• Reflection (Part 1)
• Reflection (Part 2)
• Homily
Many times we feel lost or are aware of a disconnect between our place in the church and the church itself. Perhaps we feel we have no place at all.
The Mountain on the Road ministry brings the Mt. Irenaeus model of church, truly the very first model practiced by the early Christians, to our St. Bonaventure family. Friars and students partake in a collaborative, intergenerational ministry by traveling to major cities throughout the United States to share their personal experiences of God.
St. Bonaventure alumni and their families come for an afternoon of rich conversation, sharing in the Eucharist, and a joyful experience with old and new friends. It is wonderful to witness the powerful sense of renewal and refreshment alumni feel from simply spending four hours with members of the Mt. Irenaeus family.
The time together allows for both the ministry team traveling and the alumni who might be experiencing a Mountain on the Road for the first time, to regain the knowledge of their significant role in the church as they continue on their spiritual journey. A Mountain on the Road is genuinely a heart and eye-opening encounter.
