Anne grew up in Merewether and attended St Joseph’s Primary and High Schools in the 1960s and 1970s. Working in the parish has been a wonderful opportunity to renew some old acquaintances and to make some new ones!
Mrs Margaret Cox – Reception & Administration
The longest serving member of the Parish staff, Margaret joined us in October 1994 and, while many changes have taken place during that time, Margaret remains the solid rock on which the Parish office stands. For Margaret, people always come first! It is a privileged position to be the voice and face of the Parish office and Margaret delights in assisting everyone with their enquiries, requests and arrangements.
