Wellness Center and Bistro Named!

Presenting the Franciscan Center and Station House Grill!

The wellness center will now be called the Franciscan Center. Sister Kateri Theriault explains why this name is so significant concerning our history and culture:

We are a Franciscan Living Community; our sponsors are the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio; we have been a Franciscan owned property and facility since its origins as a college seminary and Friary for the Franciscan Friars of St. John the Baptist Province since the mid-1950’s; the interior is designed along an Italian theme. Consequently, naming the wellness center the Franciscan Center seemed very in sync with our tradition and our current reality.

The bistro was also given a name of historical significance and Sister Kateri gives us this information:

At one time there was a train Station House on the northwest corner of what is now the cross-section of Franklin and Centerville Station Road. In keeping with an earlier tradition of this one time rural area, the name Station House Grill seemed appropriate and in keeping with the tradition of the property.
