St. Bonaventure Church has been a cornerstone of faith in Marceline since the community’s earliest days. Located on South Kansas Avenue, this historic Catholic parish reflects generations of devotion, tradition, and service rooted in the founding of Marceline itself.
With a strong emphasis on worship, education, and family life, St. Bonaventure serves parishioners of all ages through regular Mass, ministries, and commuity outreach. Central to this mission is Fr. McCartan Memorial Catholic School, a faith-based educational option for families offering Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade education in Marceline.
Through daily faith formation, academic excellence, and strong community values, Fr. McCartan Memorial Catholic School provides another school choice in Marceline – one that partners closely with St. Bonaventure Church to nurture students spiritually, academically, and socially. Together, the parish and school remain deeply rooted in faith and fellowship, honoring tradition while preparing future generations.
