Our Team
Carolyn Siemsen
Church Warden
Carolyn graces us with her abundant energy and enthusiasm for this parish. She grew up in Rockhampton and attended St Barnabas Church. When she moved to Northgate Area in 2008, she found St Francis Anglican Church. She says: “The parishioners made me feel so welcome I have been involved in Church life ever since.”
Carolyn is also the Treasurer.
Jenny English
Church Warden
Jenny is our newly elected Church Warden. Jenny has been a member of the parish since 2009 and considers Nundah parish like her second family.
Jenny plays an active role at both St Francis and Holy Spirit churches, coordinating our music ministry, supporting lay ministry and is a Synod Representative.
Althea O’Dee
Parish Musician
Music is a big part of my life! I love to play the piano and sing. But I LOVE to play and sing with others. I’m so happy to be playing at St Francis.
Career-wise, I am a teacher with special interests in early childhood education, music, literacy, and now special education. My husband, Alan, is my greatest supporter. Spending time in China, I taught music whilst Al evangelized, teaching English at the Chinese middle-school and the migrant-school.
I consider myself to be a sower-of-seeds, and I let God do the rest.
(Althea leads us in music on all but the third Sunday of the month.)

Safeguarders are people in the parish who are responsible to receive and respond to information concerning child safety in accordance with the diocesan Policy for the Protection of Children in Ministry Units.
