Congratulations to William Mawdsley (93), who has been awarded the Archdiocesan Medal, for Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh, in recognition of his outstanding service to the Church.
William has served as an altar server for an extraordinary 80 years and continues to serve faithfully.
Archbishop Cushley celebrated Mass at St John’s Church, Corstorphine, on Saturday, where he presented the medal to William. The weekend also marked a special personal milestone, as William and his wife Margaret celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.
We give thanks for William’s remarkable witness of faith, dedication, and service to the Church.
