He will contribute to 100th anniversary Remembrance Day services on November 11 and says the work of padres is valued by veterans and members of the Australian Defence Force serving in armed conflicts.

Tears spill from the eyes of Dr Moheb Ghaly OAM as he stands in the St Mary and St Pope Kirolos the 6th Church in Cundletown. They are tears of joy and as they fall he speaks of love - his love for God, his love for St Pope Kirolos the 6th and his love for Fay Abdo, the woman he will soon wed in the beautiful church that he gifted to the Mid North Coast.
