A very dear family friend, one I considered an honourary aunt while growing up, received a very special honour last week. Valda became the third ever Australian to receive the Papal honour of the Benemerenti Medal. Originally awarded to military recipients, first issued in 1831 under Pope Pius VI, since 1925 it has also been […]
