Pastoral Associate Pam Priadko

Alex and I have just celebrated out 40th Wedding Anniversary. We have four adult children and three grandchildren. We have lived in Seacombe Gardens Parish for all of our married life and we are active members of the church community.

I am a Naturopath and had my own practice up until May of last year, when I started as Pastoral Associate here in Bright Parish. Alex and I are part of the leadership team for Marriage Encounter and have been involved in various ways in this ministry for 25 years. I am studying at the Adelaide College of Divinity, in the Ministry Formation Programme.

Alex and I travel whenever we can. This year, we took a trip to Turkey and Greece, including a cruise of the Greek islands and then we travelled to the Ukraine, where Alex's parents' came from. I enjoy playing golf, walking and reading and spending time with my children and grandchildren.

As Pastoral Associate, I am involved in the Preparation of families for Baptism and in the preparation of children for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist. I support the Bereavement team and the Baptism Preparation Team and other Family Groups. I co-ordinate the RCIA program in Brighton and Seacombe Gardens. I work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and am available in the Parish office for any parishioners on those days.
