Parish Pastoral Associate
Nirmanthi Rupasinghe Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Nirmanthi arrived in Australia to pursue her career in Education. Having worked in various education settings, Nirmanthi joined the parish team in 2022 as a temporary fill-in for the Pastoral Associate’s position, hoping to get back to her own field of expertise later, but God had other plans for her. With the firm belief that God’s plans are always for the good, Nirmanthi said ‘yes’ to God’s call to serve the Brighton parish community and has come to love the joys and challenges that come along with the role. Nirmanthi is passionate about her mission in bringing God’s love to the community through her engagement in the parish and look forward to serving the Lord by serving the parish community she is placed in, to the best of her ability. |
