Two stained glass windows commemorate the Presentation Sisters who established convents at Lismore, Ballina, Bellingen, Clovelly, Coraki, Croydon, Dorrigo, Murwillumbah, South Blacktown, Tumbulgum, Tweed Heads, and Urunga.

The Presentation Sisters (also known as the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary) are women who belong to a family of Roman Catholic religious orders inspired by or based on the group founded in Ireland by Nano Nagle in 1775. In the past, the Sisters dedicated their time to creating schools that would help to educate young people, especially young ladies. Most of these schools are still in operation and can be found all over the world.
