You’ve probably met a few colourful characters in your life, but I can guarantee you that you’ve never met someone as colourful as Chaplain Jack Teepa. 

Jack has a whole wardrobe full of colourful clothes, which he says he started wearing to brighten up the lives of residents in aged care, where he works as a chaplain with Carinity. 

He reckons his bright jackets bring a smile to both residents and staff, but as you’ll hear in this episode, clothes don’t just make the man. 

It’s Jack’s genuine, warm and friendly style that has seen him make an impact in chaplaincy for over 40 years.
