The Church
St Michael's Medallion Recipients
History
Each year, St Michael's Uniting Church presents 2 individuals with
‘The St Michael's Medallions' in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the community.
In the Biblical story Michael was given the task of overthrowing the dragon, the symbol of destructiveness and violence.
The award is designed to recognize individuals whose work assists in the prevention of violence, trauma and destructiveness or alternatively, promotes growth, health and well-being.
The Medallions are designed to be an encouraging voice in the community, affirming individuals whose outstanding work might remain unrecognized.
Selection Criteria
1. People who have not been hitherto recognized by other Awards, unless there are strong and prevailing reasons to do so.
2. People who have done - are doing - outstanding work - paid or voluntary - that clearly advances the causes of prevention of violence, destructiveness and waste, or its corollary that clearly promotes health and well-being and a better human society.
3. People from the spectrum of society. Each year, our committee has drawn from different communities, and it would be appropriate for the choice to reflect this. The medallions are awarded regardless of religious involvement or affiliation.
4. People who are willing to accept the medallion and who are able to be present on St Michael's day to receive it.
5. People who, in being chosen, will evoke in all who hear of their achievements a strong affirmation that the choice was clearly a good one.
Each year the choice should be one male, one female.
The Medallions
Recipients are presented with their Medallion on St Michael's Day, the last Sunday in September of each year.
The Medallions are presented on a halter ribbon in the St Michael's colours.
The colours of St Michael's:
Red: Energy, Passion
Green: Growth, Life
Black: Strength in Adversity
Gold: triumph and Celebration
