🕊️ Remembering Sr Genevieve Hassey
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Sr Genevieve Hassey, who passed away early this morning, 3rd October 2026.
Sr Genny holds a very special place in the history of St Mary’s Youth and Community Centre. As one of the people who helped establish and shape the Centre in its early years, her commitment to young people and the local community helped lay the foundations for the Centre we are so proud of today.
Generations of young people have benefited from her vision of creating a welcoming place where they could come together, make friends, learn, grow and be supported. Her legacy continues every day through the work of St Mary’s and through the Sr Genevieve Hassey Scholarship, which proudly carries her name.
On behalf of our Board, staff, volunteers and members, we extend our deepest sympathies to Sr Genny's family, her fellow Sisters, friends and all who knew her.
Her legacy will continue through the generations of young people who walk through our doors.
May Sr Genny rest in peace. 🕊️
