Pastoral Council Members

CHAIRPERSON

Reg Nye

My name is Reg Nye. I have an engineering trade and production management working background and for over 30 years, self-employed in the retail hardware industry. Blessed with a very caring and close family including numerous grand and great grandchildren, I consider myself a lucky man. For many years I was a Salisbury parishioner until 1997 when we moved into this parish. From a young age I have always involved myself in parish administration including Pastoral and Financial Councils, Planned Giving and Church maintenance. As PPC Chair, my hope is that we can support the health and growth of our faith - deepening our love for Jesus. Please pray for our Pastoral Council.

CHAIR OF THE PARISH FINANCE COUNCIL

Gerry McCarthy

I grew up in the Enfield Parish and served as an altar boy at the Holy Family Church which stood in the grounds of what is now OLSH College. My mum, dad, aunty, brothers and sisters were involved in Parish life and I can remember as a small boy attending working bees for the building of St Martin’s Church.

My working life was as a primary school teacher and I served on Parish Councils at Millicent and Tea Tree Gully. I returned “home” to live in the Parish again in 2004.

Our previous Parish Priest coopted me onto the Financial Council and I’ve found no way of escaping ever since! I currently serve my Parish through managing finances, maintenance of buildings, safety and welfare and being an active St Vincent de Paul member.

My wife, Cheryl, passed away in 2019. We have three sons who live and work in far flung parts of the world.
