The Rev’d Elizabeth
Donald McConnell

Priest-in-Charge

Rev’d Elizabeth has been the parish priest at Centenary Suburbs since November 2022. She is passionate about sharing the love of God in the world. For Liz, the best and most challenging way to do this is for each of us to be the face of Christ to whomever is in front of us; and to see the face of Christ in them.

Rev’d Elizabeth is returning to work in a part-time capacity for the month of May. She is available to you for URGENT pastoral care needs.
If all non-urgent enquiries, please email or call on Thursdays.
For general pastoral care and enquiries please contact one of the Parish Wardens or email the parish office.

Rev’d Elizabeth’s passion for creation care, and care of those who are experiencing poverty or marginalisation comes straight from the Gospel, as well as seeing this as the overall message of the Hebrew Scriptures as the most appropriate response to God’s love for us and our love for God.
