Pavonia Heritage Society
The Pavonia Heritage Society is comprised of our esteemed alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who support the University through planned gifts. The root of this Society’s name stems from the very roots of Jersey City. In the 1600s, Jersey City—then known as Pavonia (Latin for “land of the peacock”)—was founded as the first settlement in New Jersey.
Pavo Loyalty Circle
The Pavo Loyalty Circle celebrates the simple but powerful act of loyal giving by recognizing donors who have contributed at any level for two or more consecutive fiscal years.
The 1872 Society
Established during our Sesquicentennial year in honor of the year of our founding, The 1872 Society recognizes donors who have made significant commitments totaling $1 million or more to Saint Peter’s in their lifetime. By doing so they have become essential partners in advancing our mission.
