Message from Andrew Leigh
Local Federal MP, Andrew Leigh, has always taken a keen interest in St Mar-
garet’s and Holy Cross activities. He was unable to attend the 50th anniver-
sary celebrations as he was in New Zealand with his family at the time.
However, he did send us this message:
When a couple have been married for 50 years, they get a letter from
the Prime Minister. So it seems only fitting that when two churches
have been intertwined for half a century, they get a congratulatory
message from their local MP.
As your federal representative and a Hackett resident, I couldn’t be
prouder of all that St Margaret’s and Holy Cross have achieved. From
Tuckerbox to Ross Walker Lodge, Toybox to inspiring sermons, you
serve the community and nourish the mind. In an age of growing
populism and inequality, you’re an example to us all that we can
achieve so much more together.
Warm wishes
Andrew Leigh
