Australian Women Preach

Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Matthew 21: 28-32

Jo Curran writes:

I am a Primary School teacher with a passion for nurturing young minds. With a career spanning over three decades, I embarked on my teaching journey in 1989 in Brisbane Catholic Education schools, particularly in lower primary. A guiding principle of mine is to bring a relatable, tangible, every day God to the lives of the children I teach while continuing to nurture my own faith.

Beyond the classroom, I find fulfillment in our 34-year-long marriage, which I hope is an outward sign of our strong commitment and love for each other. We are blessed to be parents to beautiful teenage two sons, being a mother is certainly something I always dreamed of being.

Beyond the classroom I am a volunteer at St. Vinnies and value time with my family, friends and communities I belong. The beach is certainly a place I relax and feel instant awe and gratitude for all my blessings.
