Window - 2022 Jo-Anne Wells and Lois Erickson2 views2020 saw the passing of two very significant people in the St Linus story. First, in August of that year, long serving parishioner Lois Erickson died after a long battle with cancer. Lois's association with St Linus started in the early 1950s as a small child and she spent nearly 70 years as a dedicated member of the church community, taking on roles as Vestry member, Church Council member, Church Warden, Parish Treasurer and Kindergarten President and Treasurer. The Rev. Jo-Anne Wells took on the role of vicar of the Parish of St Matthew's Glenroy with St Linus' Merlynston in November 2011 and served in that capacity until her untimely passing in October 2020. She brought much love, empathy, tolerance and compassion to her role, along with a passion for helping refugees. The members of the parish raised the necessary finances to erect this window, in memory of these two lovingly remembered people.

Window behind organ3 viewsYou can easily miss this final stained glass window, given that it is hidden behind the Moyle organ, on the northern side of the church. It has no additional writing to indicate that it has been created in memorial of some significant person. It is simply a stained glass window, if there is such a thing! All stained glass windows tell their own story.
