Wedding and Thanksgiving Mass


On Sunday 25th January 2009 a Thanksgiving Mass was held at the Queen of Peace Catholic Church to give thanks to our Lord for all the good things He has done for us since our inauguration in 2005 . A cash donation was given to the Church towards the annual harvest and all the newly installed Officers of both the Commandery and Auxiliary were blessed and presented to the congregation. It was a joyous occasion for us all. We also celebrated the wedding of one of our Sisters and her new husband in December. It was a lovely day and Mr and Mrs. Boateng were given full military honours.

Charity begins at home-

The 2008 Charity event was held on the first Friday of January 2009. During the Christmas season on the first Friday of December some items were added to the items donated by parishioners and were sent out. In January both the Commandery and Auxiliary contributed to send items to over 50 elderly and sick. Sisters met at the Parish house on the 1st of January after Mass and the items were bagged and made presentable. These were mostly food items and toiletries and these were taken by the Priests and some Auxiliary Sisters during the Communion rounds. There was joy on the faces of the elderly as they received their gifts, had Communion and songs were sung with them. Clothes and shoes were also donated which will be taken to needy people at a later date. these could not be given out this time since most of the visited were bed ridden.
