It is with deepest sadness that today the Merici College Community mourns the passing today of our dear sister - Christine Collins.
Christine was a valued Support Staff member in Catholic Education in Canberra-Goulburn Diocese. She started with humble beginnings, working in the text-book room at Merici College back in 1991. Over the years, Christine moved around various sections of Administration and eventually to the Finance Office, initially as a Finance Clerk, where she was quickly promoted into the role of Finance Manager, a position she has held for the past 10 years.
She is our longest-standing member of Support Staff, being part of Merici College for over 30 years.
Christine was the also the heart of our staff community, having managed and promoted what is now a very healthy and strong staff social club over the decades as Merici College grew. She was a living example of the love, faith and strength that is Merici College today. She is much loved and cherished by all of us here, and will be terribly missed. As a community, we keep Christine’s family in our prayers, and we extend our condolences during this time of loss.
Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord. Let perpetual light shine upon her. May Christine’s soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen
