PROVINCIAL PRESIDENT PGP MIKE O'MALLEY AT 50

The presentation of a scroll to acknowledge Mike's fifty years in the Association was done in an unconventional way recently.  Normally the National President would talk about the recipient before handing over the scroll but in the case of Past Grand President (PGP) Mike O’Malley of Lytham St Annes (LSA) Circle the accolades were given by his two fellow PGPs Tony Godden and David Rowley also of LSA Circle prior to the presentation.  Mike, a Yorkshire man, joined Oldham Circle whilst a practising GP and took on various roles at a local and provincial level before being elected to the Grand Council and ultimately became Grand President in 2006.  In his retirement he and Anne-Marie moved to St Joseph’s parish, Lytham where he again has taken on various roles and is currently Provincial President, Province 10.  Mike’s life has been one of service to the Church, to Medicine and the Catenian Association combined with love and support for his family.
