Holy Family Community connections information

Transcription

Holy Family Community, Maryknoll, has some close connections with Santa Teresa, / the Little Flower mission, at Arltunga and the Ngkarte Mikwekenhe Community. / Vin Tyler is one of the original members of our community and his brother was a / Marist Brother at Arltunga for some years. Pat Clancy is another early member. / His brother, Fr John Clancy, MSC, was in charge of Santa Teresa for a number of / years and actually celebrated his first Mass in this Church. Pauline Mackinnon / worked at Santa Teresa when Fr Clancy was there, in 1975. She enjoys an ongoing / and close connection with her Eastern Arrernte family ever since then.
These people, Margaret Kemarre Turner and her daughter, Amelia are among the / founders of Ngkarte Mikwekenhe and Irrkerlantye Arts. They are very proud that / one of their crosses honours our walls and send their belessings to all our Community / in this way. “Mwantey Alhaye” (prounounced Mwanja Lai) ~ Go gently!
