Expressions of faith happen every day in Carinity seniors’ communities, but it’s not often that baptisms occur there. Carinity Wishart Gardens retirement village resident, Alvin McHugh, hasn’t let age or fear stop him from publicly confirming his commitment to Jesus Christ.
Last week, members of the community, staff and residents joined to honour Resthaven’s exceptional history of service to the people of Mackay and celebrate becoming the latest member of the Apollo Care Alliance, securing its future for generations to come.
Of all the centenarians currently living in Carinity aged care communities, half moved in after they had turned 100. Arthur ‘Ron’ Neal is the latest. The 100-year-old is the oldest resident living at Carinity Kepnock Grove in Bundaberg. He was born Arthur Ronald Neal in Newcastle on 17 December 1924, to parents Arthur and Edna Neal.
Mother’s Day is a time for celebration, reflection, and appreciation—but for many, it can also bring feelings of sadness, longing, or even pain. Whether you’ve recently lost your mother, experienced the passing of a child, or are supporting a loved one through their grief, Mother’s Day can be a complex emotional time.
