Mission Statement
"To provide a Sacred Place that is open to all who seek Spiritual Guidance and enrichment."
History
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (Annotation #19) were conducted at St. Anne’s and Kitchitwa Kateri churches, ended with a weekend retreat at Fr. Kroker and Fr. Murray’s log cabins at Sandy Beach on the Fort William First Nation. The lack of indoor bath and washroom facilities deterred several participants from remaining on site overnight.
In 2008, Father Larry Kroker s.j. and Fr. Michael Murray s.j., planned and initiated the structure of a suitable Spiritual Centre to resolve the problem, hiring the timber framer Paul McNabb who began the floor and timber frame structure that summer, Deacon Richard Baxter for the construction consult and and electrical work, then carpenter Stewart Collins and crew who closed it in. Don Tribe and Fred Morgan assisted in completing the interior.
