Guided by a spiritual quest to work with "the poorest and most neglected people" in her own country, Australia, "Philla" served as a remote-area community nurse in the Pilbara for 15 years (1981-1996). Since retiring, Philomena has continued her life of service by visiting prisoners, the sick and the elderly, and volunteering within the Catholic church.view less
