Welcome to the
St. Francis Center home page! Enjoy your visit with us as
you stroll through our pages. This website is designed to
give you a little glimpse of the ministries, workshops,
programs, and opportunities for healing available in a welcoming
and inclusive environment through the St. Francis Center for
Restoration. While you are visiting, please sign our
guestbook as we would appreciate your input into our website.
Co-founded by Renee' Koenig
and Sharon Jones in 1999, the St. Francis Center for Restoration
began as a center that provides tools to assist those of any
Christian faith towards emotional and spiritual healing.
Currently the board of twelve members includes
three Episcopal priests (one of whom is published author), an
ordained Episcopal deacon, two licensed professional counselors,
a seminary professor, a career counselor, three Audire trained
spiritual directors and a Jesuit priest and author. Some
of our board members wear more than one hat. The director
of the Center is the Rev. Dr. Robert Bruckart, Director of
Pastoral Care at Holmes Regional Hospital in Melbourne, Florida.
On April 2nd, 2002 the center received its 501C3 designation as
a non-profit organization. This allows us to receive
contributions which are a tax deduction for those giving to the
center. We celebrated our 9th anniversary on May 16th. Thanks to
all who have supported us in attending our programs,
praying for us and for providing financial assistance. We have
an entire volunteer staff of professionally trained people.
All donations are used to support our speakers and for
associated costs with our ministry.
