CANADA – Dolbeau: TURNING THE PAGE…

At the New Training Centre for Veterans of the Canadian Army and the Federal Police (RCMP).

TURN THE PAGE…

Bro Marcellin Perron

With the Departure of the Brothers of Dolbeau? after 90 years in the Region, Brother Marcellin Perron had to close the “Youth Service Camp” he had opened in the Suburbs of Dolbeau, to give Young People and Adults in particular Life Training: Human, Social and Spiritual Training.

For over Fifty Years, Brother Marcellin touched the Hearts and Minds of Hundreds of People during his Weekend Sessions. In early November 2024, Brother Marcellin finally turned the Page, as he is currently Superior of the Pointe-du-Lac Community.

… AND PASS ON THE TORCH

Bro Marcellin with Founding Members of the PEPPER POD

But an unexpected turn of Events occurred! Sandra, a Dedicated Participant at the Camp, took up the Torch, that time in Gatineau, a few kilometers from Ottawa. She opened a Resource Center for Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP (Federal Police).

The New Meeting and Training Center.

At the Opening of the Pavilion, named “Pepper Pod” (see website: https://pepperpod.ca/fr/ She invited the Man who inspired that Training, her uncle, Brother Marcellin. It was quite unexpected, but that’s how Grace works, even without Our knowledge. The Center has become a place of Welcome and Sharing, and for them, a Place of Formation as they prepare for their Professional Retirement.
