For many years now Sister has lived in Wagga Wagga where she is well loved by the Loreto Home of Compassion Community, and where she continues a pastoral role in the Home particularly in the care of the chapel.

She had the joy to be at the re-dedication of the Chanel Home in 2016, where she received a warm welcome from the disabled residents she had cared for when they were children and young adults.
