THANK YOU.
It seems like only yesterday that Fr Pierre arrived at the St Francis Centre. And now, it is hard to believe that almost 10 years has passed and he is now moving on to his next assignment. . . Rome. While he may have arrived as an unknown, his presence here has definitely allowed for much growth and opportunity for many individuals who may have crossed his path.
Fr Pierre was able to impact the young people who attended the Centre for their academic and sacramental retreats in an extremely meaningful way. He afforded the students the opportunity to meet God through enthusiastic and creative programs that have led many of them to come back to the Centre time and time again. His evening and weekend retreat programs drew people from all of the surrounding parishes and these allowed for so many opportunities to strengthen their faith.
However, perhaps the greatest impact to be missed will be the personal contributions Fr Pierre made to the many individuals who came to work and serve with him during his stay at the
Centre. The staff and surrounding parishes came to know Fr Pierre as someone who accepted the role of friar as one who would serve at all cost. Never one to say no, he was always ready to accept a challenge an assist when needed.
We wish him all the best as he moves on the Rome. It is certain he will become a valued team member there, as he was here. And it is also certain that his presence at the Convento will allow for strengthened bonds between all the students and staff with whom he interacts.
God has many plans for each of us. . . Thank you and Best of luck Fr Pierre. Don't forget to feed the birds in Rome.

Dear friends of St Francis Centre...
During this difficult time and the presence of the COVID-19 virus, we must restrict individuals from utilizing the property for recreation of any sort. Walking trails, picnic benches and the outdoor Stations of the Cross will be closed until further notice.
As the Centre is Private Property and essentially a residence for those who live on the grounds, the welcome extension to visit has always been greatly appreciated. And so at this time, these restrictions can be fully understood and should be respected by all those who support and appreciate the Friars and the St Francis Centre.
Thank you for your understanding.
