Humble recipients of King's Birthday honours

Craig Fosdike and Damian Antenucci were in very different places when they learned they were receiving an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for their service to education but both had the same reaction – shock and disbelief.

Helping others ‘good for the soul’

Members of the Victor Harbor/Goolwa parish were among many to congratulate long standing volunteer and local identity Pat Chigwidden, who was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in January.

Erica and Bob Korotcoff

Never too old to serve

At 85, Bob Korotcoff OAM has no plans to slow down and is living proof that one is never too old to serve the community.

From Italy, with love

Members of the Newton parish and local Italian community were filled with pride and joy when they learned that “our Maria” had received a Medal of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s birthday honours in June.

Catholics recognised in Queen’s birthday honours

A religious Sister and advocate for women, a Fred’s Van volunteer and two tireless workers for community organisations are just some of the South Australian Catholics who have been included in this year’s Queen’s birthday honours list.

Faith, family and friendship lead to life of service

The Rotary motto of ‘service above self’ has always struck Peter Sandercock as a very simple phrase but it’s one that still resonates with the Glenelg parishioner and recipient of an Order of Australia Medal in this year’s Australia Day honours.
