Testimonials
 Mount St. Francis is a peace-filled retreat centre where the spirituality of communion, the heart’s contemplation of the mystery of the Trinity dwelling within us, and whose light we must also see shining on the face of our brothers and sisters around us, is taught and nurtured. F.B. Henry Catholic Bishop of Calgary For some time now, I have been impressed by the work Mount St. Francis Retreat Centre offers to persons in need. It provides the opportunity for individuals to enjoy silent retreats under the direction of several different Franciscan directors and teams, in a safe sanctuary for individuals to heal and grow. Allan Markin, Chairman Canadian Natural Resources Limited We loved our experience at Mount St. Francis. It was a perfect setting for our retreat. The service, accommodations, food, and especially the atmosphere were exactly what we were looking for! Being part of the Franciscan community for Mass really set the tone and helped us to ground our discussions. Dr. Lucy Miller, Chief Superintendent Calgary Catholic School District Our annual Businessmen’s Retreat at The Mount has been my kick off to the New Year since 1973. Whether it was Lucian, Paul, Anthony or Father Bob leading us to “salvation” I seemed to return to society a better person. It is the place with the great trails, soft beds, the fine kitchen, the sermons on the amount, the entire concept, the presence of the Holy Spirit and our Franciscans and their team that create the atmosphere for us to face the realities and challenges of the world on our return!
