A very long-term member of St Patrick’s congregation, Elma is in charge of setting up and tidying the church, and more importantly is also in charge of the music – which can be at questionable volume – with Fr Kevin describing Elma as ‘the choir’ saying they are very blessed to have her and “when she’s not there, we know!” A very special lady of Tamborine!
