In
early 2002, Michelle was appointed Youth and Young Adult Minister at Our
Lady Queen of Peace Parish, Greystanes, Sydney.
Also during that year, Michelle was inspired by the experience of
the World Youth Day held in Toronto, Canada, which she attended with the group from Parramatta Diocese. After a
period of time with the Good Samaritan Sisters, Michelle came to join
the Parish Team of St. Brigid's in 2005. |
