(KAIR)--After 35-years, Atchison's All Faith Counseling Center is closing its doors.

News of the decision was posted in a statement on the mental-health provider's Facebook page.

The final day of operation will be November 15, with the statement saying the phone and fax will be turned off at the close of business on that day.

All Faith Counseling Center has served Atchison, and the surrounding area, since 1983.

According to the center's website, the center was formerly known as the Atchison Samaritan Counseling Center when it was founded by Sister Janelle Maes, a Benedictine Sister, pastoral counselor, and licensed marriage and family therapist.

It began as an ecumenical endeavor in conjunction with local pastor John Muncy, operating out of a space donated by the Atchison hospital, in an effort to provide quality, affordable counseling services in Atchison.

Gaining the endorsement of the Atchison Ministerial Alliance, the center changed it's named to All Faith Counseling in 1988 to reflect that people of all beliefs were welcome to the provided services.
