Coral Sea Gardens Retirement Village
Home in Cairns

Our vibrant communities present energetic social programs, unused amenities and a range of accommodation from retirement living apartments and villas to lofty and low concern nursing options. Our committed team of over 250 men and women remain to find inspiration from the example of the Holy Spirit Sisters who have a permanent legacy of providing aged care services in Queensland. At Holy Spirit Protection Services our Community Model of Aged Care and Services ensures that our policies and outcomes reflect our core mission: to touch and enhance the lives of people through our Christian culture of quality protection and service. Driving our mission are the core values of respect, integrity, compassion, justice and innovation. While the environment is continually temporary in health and aged concern services, the values and principles which define our service do not. They continue the guiding principle defining why we exist and why we do the things we do. They are an official religious congregation within the Catholic Church, with members (after some years) making a vowed commitment to the loving service of God and their sisters and brothers in need around the world. From the very beginning, their vision has been to share God’s love and the knowledge of Jesus Christ with people of diverse nationalities and cultures, in whatever ways they can. Their ministries hide a expansive range of services in education, health care, spirituality, catechetics, evangelisation, pastoral care, community and personal development, justice, peace and environmental issues. In 1945 they obtained a farm property in Ashley (now Carseldine) and established their Order. For over half a century Holy Spirit Hospital built a reputation as a leading private health protection facility with a unique range of specialist medical and surgical services, combining clinical excellence with modern technology delivered with compassion, love and respect for the dignity of each person. All the entities that were established and founded by the Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters are now administered and governed by lay men and women in partnership with the Sisters, committed to one shared vision and the continuation of a mission wealthy in tradition and the healing ministry of Jesus. The Australian Congregation’s logo (below) depicts the spirit of God (the dove) who is at the center of all creation and within every person.
