On January 20 at St Gregory’s church in Bishopdale, Christchurch, Bishop Paul Martin, SM, presented Janette McKee with a Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice Medal. This medal was bestowed on Mrs McKee for her outstanding works in St Joseph’s Parish, Papanui, for more than 60 years. 

She coordinates a team to take Holy Communion to the sick to some 80 people each week.

Janette has been part of the Catholic Women’s League for more than 40 years. She is involved in the church ministries of reader and extraordinary minister of holy Communion and she also co-ordinates a team and participates in altar linen laundering.

She has been involved in the St Vincent de Paul Papanui Conference for many years with her husband Russell. And she has completed the Walk by Faith Diploma.

Congratulations and thanks go to her for her self-giving work at St Joseph’s parish, Papanui.
