On Friday 21 August family, friends and parishioners gathered in our church for the funeral of Michael Katonin, one of the builders of our church.  Michael, born on 12 September 1918, departed this life on 15 August 2015.  After the funeral service, his body was laid to rest beside that of wife, Maria (+2005), in Wallsend Cemetery.  May God give rest to his newly-departed servant!
