It’s a sad day for us here at The Forrest Centre as a beloved member of our team retires. Therese Swan has been with The Forrest Centre since 2019, most recently in the role of Pastoral Care Worker at Loreto Home of Compassion.
In Pastoral Care, Therese found a role that she believes she was meant for, and we couldn’t agree more. While we’re sad to see her leave, we wish her all the very best.
We recently spoke with Therese about her time here and it shows exactly why she has been the perfect fit for The Forrest Centre, and why she will be sorely missed. You can read Therese’s story here.
