We are thrilled to be welcoming our first ever formation student (Ordinand) at Holy Hermits Online!

This is a truly remarkable milestone for our community as we contribute to the formation of future clergy in the Diocese and support Saint Francis College (stfran.qld.edu.au) in their goal of providing training and experience to Ordinands. More info here: Formation

As Sara finises her formation journey, approaching ordination to the Diaconate, it is wonderful that we get to travel with her for this last stretch of the road.

A little intro from Sara:

Hi everyone, 
my name is Sara Hansen and I'm based in the small rural town of Toogoolawah. I'm a third year formation student from St. Francis Theological College, where I completed my Bachelor of Theology. I'm a bit of a multitasker and like to keep busy. 
As the mother of five girls (with two dogs, and three cats), I'm kept quite busy.
Yet, I always make room for my creative side that God blessed me with, which includes creative writing, painting, and cross-stitching.
I also do admin work for my local Parish, Brisbane Valley, and Allora/Clifton.
I am very excited to be a part of Holy Hermits Online.
I was there briefly at the beginning so coming back and seeing how it has grown is absolutely wonderful.
I can't wait to continue worshiping with you all and getting to know you better.
Blessings
Sara
As an Ordinand Sara will:
  • be preaching on the 1st of September as we enter the Season of Creation,
  • living out all our serving roles in the coming months
  • become available for pastoral care online via Zoom and phone 

Please uphold Sara in your regular prayers:

Loving God,

thank you for the call you have invited Sara to respond to by giving her life in service to you through the Church.

Thank you for bringing her to spend a season with us at Holy Hermits Online.

May our time together be fruitful and formative for her vocation and equip her to be a Deacon in your Church.

May we be filled with your Holy Spirit in providing a space for Sara to learn and grow and have new experiences with us.

Make us open to the gifts in ministry she brings to our community and help us to support her as our student.

We ask your blessings on her family, especially her children and animals who are also becoming a part of us.

Through Jesus Christ we offer this prayer. Amen.
