Mary Potter Birthday – Awards 2020
Every November, across all Calvary sites and services, we celebrate Venerable Mary Potter’s Birthday.
Mary Potter, born in 1847, in England, was the Foundress of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary. These Sisters dedicated themselves to a ministry of prayer and care for the sick and the dying. They established many hospitals and health care services that are now known, collectively as ‘Calvary’. Calvary is committed to continuing the Sisters’ legacy of compassionate, holistic care.
The celebration of Mary Potter’s birthday is an occasion on which we honour staff who have served Calvary for many years and those whose peers have nominated them for recognition for outstanding service to our patients and exemplary demonstration of our Calvary values.
Congratulations to the following 2020 Mary Potter Award Recipients:

Hospitality
Winner: St Catherine’s Ward
Everybody wants to feel welcomed, to feel wanted and to belong. Hospitality is the way we acknowledge and give life to these feelings.

Healing
Winner: Case Management Team
Our patients want to be cared for as whole people. They want their emotions and their spirit to be cared for as well. Healing is how we respond to this.

Stewardship
Winner: Nick Brown, Supply Officer
All we have is given to us as a gift – stewardship is about how we use these gifts wisely to help our patients

Respect
Winner: Stephanie Brabin, Pastoral Care Team Leader
We all want to be treated with dignity and to be valued for who we are. Respect is about how we treat all people

Spirit of Calvary
Winner: Milena Saunderson, Clinical Manager St Helen’s
Our behaviour exemplifies the spirit of Calvary in all we do and what we have achieved.
