Rev. François L. Lacroix

Brief Bio:

I was born in a small village on the Belgian border with France and given the name François Louis Marie Roger Astrid Ghislain Lacroix. Two older brothers, with equally long names, preceded me. I joined the Lacroix family five months after my mother celebrated her forty-second birthday, her last attempt at giving birth to a girl. Shortly after I turned three my family immigrated to Montreal, Canada and six years later to Miami, Florida where I grew up and attended primary and secondary school as well as Junior College. Studies in music and graduate studies in Seminary would eventually lead to a life of service in the ministry.

I am married to Cyndi Lacroix, RN.  We have four grown children and six grandchildren, although we both look much too young to have such a large clan already.
