Our Staff

At Ave Maria Gift and Specialties we pride ourselves on having Prince George's best customer service. Many of our team members are herbalists and engage in monthly training to ensure that we are up to date on the science and products that can help our customers maintain and regain their health.  Over the years, we have had some great characters pass through our staff room, and every day we have the privileged of rubbing shoulders with some very caring human beings both as fellow workers and customers!

Together with his wife Rolande, Louis Matte wanted to serve their community in Prince George with products and knowledge that would embrace the embodiment of health. So, Ave Maria was born. Louis is a successful businessman in Prince George, who has never forgotten his humble beginning in business with his very first landscaping business he started while teaching the youth of Prince George during the day. Louis has had the loving support of Rolande during his business ventures, and the great blessing of raising their 11 children.  Louis and Rolande are very fond of their former business partner, Dave Fuller. Dave moved on to new adventures in 2017 and they wish him peace, love and success in his future.
