Anne Mawa & Maggie Mullane Parish Secretaries

Anne Mawa joined our team in late 2021. Anne is new to our community and brings a wealth of secretarial experience, warmth and  a deep faith to her role. Alongside her is parishioner Maggie Mullane who has been part of the parish team through the years. We are delighted to have them in their respective roles in the parish office. Sadly, Catherine had to leave for family reasons. She gave us wonderful service during her time on our team.

Rosalia has been a parishioner for 20 years and took on the role of Sacramental and Catechist co-ordinator in 2010. Rosalia works passionately, linking the Parish community with the Catholic families from schools in the area, assisting them in their preparation for the Sacraments which are celebrated at Holy Name of Mary Parish. She ensures that Catechists are well prepared and resourced in their endeavour to run effective Faith-forming and pastoral programs  in our Public Schools. Her presence with us is priceless.
