But we are always excited at the prospect of welcoming someone new to our Mother Teresa community.

This popped up in my feed this morning. Some concrete ideas that resonated with our leading lights parent presentation last night! Thanks again to all of you who came to learn and connect. What a great evening we had!

From mud kitchens and sandpits to tricycles, slacklines, dancing and campfires, there was plenty of activity when we visited Mother Teresa Early Learning Centre, Harrison ACT yesterday.

As we captured photos and video content for our new website, we had the opportunity to see firsthand the engaging learning experiences children enjoy each day and meet the educators who make them possible.

With 19 staff members speaking 14 different languages, the centre is a vibrant multicultural community where every child and educator contributes something unique. It's this sense of belonging, diversity and connection that makes Mother Teresa ELC such a special place to learn and grow.

We're excited to share more when our new website launches later this month.

We’ve put our ‘best foot forward’ for our marketing campaign video today! We are so proud of our preschool, our teachers, our community and our friends. We just wanted to show it off! ! 🥰

Our teachers and educators enjoyed an evening of learning and professional development this week, ably led by our Educational Leader, Mrs S (aka Shidah Spensberger von Wiorgiorski).

We’re excited to put our new learning into practice, with a refreshed focus on child driven, open ended, investigative learning.

Dear Holy Spirit Parish family,

Yesterday we farewelled Fr Troy.

To everyone who joined us, whether in person or online, thank you. Looking around the church, it was impossible not to be moved by the incredible number of people whose lives Fr Troy had touched.

But a day like yesterday doesn't simply happen.

It was made possible by the generosity and teamwork of our extraordinary community. It was a beautiful reminder that our Holy Spirit Parish is so much more than a church - we are a family. When one of our own needed us most, everyone stepped forward without hesitation.

To Surani, Carmel and Beth, thank you for creating such a beautiful liturgy in just five days. It was a remarkable achievement.

To Fiona, Matt, Nita, Sr Kim, Susan, Pradeep, Maureen, Brooke, Anthony, Joachim, Dilu, Jim, Catherine, Felicity, Bob, Grace, Michelle, Tony, Chris, Jovina, Mary, Mel, Ian, Glen and your wonderful teams of volunteers - thank you. Your countless hours of quietly working behind the scenes made everything run to plan.

To everyone who sang in the choir, played an instrument, moved chairs, prepared spaces, cleaned, packed away, welcomed guests, directed traffic in the cold and rain or simply asked, "What can I do to help?" - thank you too. There were so many acts of kindness that it's impossible to name everyone, but every one of you mattered.

The Memorial Mass was a testament to who Fr Troy was, but it was also a testament to who we are as a parish.

I have no doubt Fr Troy was smiling. Even in his final farewell, he did what he always did best, that is he brought us together.

If you were unable to attend you can watch the Mass online here:

We pray for Fr Lolesio that he has a safe return to the parish at the end of July. In the interim, please continue to welcome the visiting priests (most who are retired) celebrating Mass with us every weekend.
