The Banners of the Mothers’ Union Branches and Caritas Groups, Diocese of Melbourne.


The late Doug Myers completed an archival copy of ‘The Banners of the Mothers’ Union Branches and Caritas Groups, Diocese of Melbourne’ using wonderful computer skills. 


The ‘Book’ contains pictures of banners from 89 groups, both active and in recess, and includes more than 124 banner photos.


Doug Myers captured the culture of our banners beautifully and this is magnificent contribution to maintaining the MU history of the Diocese.
