The unveiling of an honour roll coincided with Sr Carole’s Golden Jubilee and her departure to Sydney. After five years as a Board Director and leader of the Hutt Street Centre Pastoral Care Programme. The honour roll was donated by the Southern Cross Charitable Trust Fund in memory of Phil Burns, a former State Chairman of the Knights of the Southern Cross in SA until his passing in 2019. His son Chris Burns, spoke at the unveiling ceremony: “This Honour Board will be a lasting reminder of the centre’s connection with the Daughters of Charity and their values.” He also paid tribute to Sr Carole, “who had endeared herself to clients, volunteers and staff  through her warm and compassionate nature, her gentle wisdom, and her willingness to lend a hand.” Jenny Brinkworth: The Southern Cross
