Margaret Rodriguez

Our Lady Of The Rosary School, Kellyville,NSW

Summary

  • I am currently coordinating the FIA program at Our Lady of the Rosary School in collaboration with a robust leadership and pastoral team, including Paul Battikha, Robert Barden, and REC Annie Takchi.
  • I am a parishioner at Our Lady of the Rosary, Kellyville, under the pastoral care of the parish priest, Father Christopher Shorrock, and the friars. I have been an active member of this church community since 2001. I attend Mass every weekend, often serving as a minister of the Eucharist or a reader.
  • I have been called upon to be part of the team to sponsor adults, over the years, to become Catholics. I have been part of the RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish since 2014.
  • As an educator at Our Lady of the Rosary School, I have had extensive experience in teaching Religious Education across many grade levels, always focusing on the mission requirement in every learning experience.
  • At present, I am a Year 1 teacher programming the Religious Education programs for the grade.
