Two men from St Mary's, Star of the Sea in Leith have been posthumously honoured with the Archdiocesan Medal for their dedication as altar servers.

Douglas Campanile, who died in September last year, served at the altar for an impressive 68 years. Michael Sweeney, who died in February this year, had served for 25 years.

Parish priest Fr John McFadden OMI, said: "It's a fitting tribute and consolation to the Campanile and Sweeney families to have the faithful service of their loved ones recognised by the Archdiocese."
