Updated: On Monday 21 December we learned with deep sadness of the repose, early that morning, of Anna Pavlovna Morhun. Anna Pavlovna was active in the life of our parish from the time of its foundation in 1952. She was a member of the Parish Council and active in the Ladies' Auxiliary for most of that period, filling the role of Head Sister for over fifty years. She continued to be actively involved in church life well into her nineties, cooking, cleaning the church, and changing the vestments. She received a gramota from Archbishop Sava (Raevsky) in 1964, a medal from then Archbishop Hilarion in 1998 on the Fiftieth Anniversary of the establishment of the Australian-New Zealand Diocese, and in 2017 Bishop George awarded her the prestigious Diocesan Cross. May God grant this good and faithful servant of our parish rest with the saints, and make her memory to be eternal!
