Legacy

Continuing Fr. Bob’s Legacy:

A New Chapter

Fr. Bob Perelli’s impact on Western New York extended far beyond his role as a practitioner of Bowen Family Systems Theory. He was a mentor, a guide, and for many, a profound influence in navigating life’s most challenging moments. Today, the Center for Family Systems Theory is honored to carry forward his legacy in a way that would bring him joy: by training a new generation of practitioners who will multiply his wisdom and approach across our region.

As you’ll see in the video below, we’ve spent the past year thoughtfully building on Fr. Bob’s foundation. We invite you to learn more about our progress and explore ways to be part of this meaningful next chapter.
