We want to thank all those that have helped us over the course of the renovation of this historic place, and many of you continue to help us. This has become a shared labor of love for all of us, drawn from a deep love of Christ, Holy Mother Church, and a desire to keep the Capuchin history alive in our area, and offer the community a unique place for retreats with simplicity and few distractions.<\/p>\n

We especially want to thank His Excellency Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades. \u00a0Without his support, guidance and encouragement for this project, we would have never been able to see it to its completion. \u00a0The Bishop and his office continue to be so supportive in helping us move forward and organize the Center, so that it may be a key place to function and support the Catholic community whenever needed. \u00a0Knowing his deep love for St. Francis, and the Franciscan way of life, we see this as a clear sign that this was a gift given to all of us by the Holy Spirit. \u00a0Thank You, Bishop Rhoades!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ron has been instrumental in our efforts to restore the Monastery back to its original grandeur. \u00a0His first hand knowledge and love for this place has been a tremendous grace from God. \u00a0Fr. Ron continues to help us when he can and is the Pastor of Ss. Peter & Paul Parish just minutes away from us. \u00a0Thank you Fr. Ron!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fr. David Mary, F.F.M., who has lived a Capuchin life for over 25 years, is \"\"now the Minister General of the Franciscan Brothers Minor. \u00a0He and his brothers have been a great source of help from the beginning. \u00a0Always readily available to help us in whatever is needed, whether it be cleaning moving furniture, etc. the brothers are always there to help.
Fr. David has guided us in so many ways and continues to be a great support in helping us understand the Capuchin Charism.
Thank You Fr. David Mary!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
