Annual Academic Convocation

St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry cordially invites you to join us either in-person or virtually for our Annual Academic Convocation to officially welcome the start of our 2025 - 2026 academic year!

This year's Convocation will feature an opening address by President Dr. Stephen Loughlin and a lecture by St. Bernard's Vice President and Academic Dean, Dr. Matthew Kuhner. The day will begin with Mass by The Most Reverend Salvatore R. Matano, Bishop of Rochester, followed by a lecture, Q&A, and lunch, and will conclude with a Student Orientation for new and current students.

We invite current students, alumni, our Board of Trustees, community members and their families for any and all parts of this celebration of faith and our new academic year!
