E. Louis Canter, OEF is our Director of Pastoral Care. He has extensive background and education in pastoral care and ministry, which stretches over forty years. His recent ministries included music, faith formation, and training of ministers as well as pastoral care for the sick. His concern for others has afforded him the opportunity to reach out beyond the Catholic Faith, and is a sought after speaker on behalf of ecumenism and interfaith dialogue. Louis belongs to a Franciscan community of which he is a professed member.
Louis is a composer and his music is published by various publishers, which include International Liturgical Publications and Oregon Catholic Press. He recently was asked to be Composer in residence by the Order of Lutheran Franciscans.
