Two exceptional seventeenth century figures and their 21st century legacy are the focus of this unique center, located on the US/Canadian border ten miles north of Niagara Falls, NY.  A combination of library, bookstore, speakers bureau, organizer of annual national conferences and biannual international seminars, all designed to facilitate in-depth study and widespread dissemination of the spirituality stemming from Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal, especially as it corresponds to present-day needs and challenges.

  Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
        Charismatic bishop of Geneva, writer of spiritual classics, gifted
        spiritual director...

  Jane de Chantal (1572-1641)
          Wife, mother, widow, and with Francis, her director
          and friend,  founder of the Order of the Visitation...

Together these two saints are the source of a unique spiritual tradition which embraces the human heart center as well as the relationships of family, friends and associates, and which is therefore suited to all walks of life, even to the busy lives of believers entering the 21st century.
