7TH ANNIVERSARY MASS

The 7th of May was the 7th Anniversary of Queen of Peace Commandery and Auxiliary and on the 13th, a Thanksgiving Mass was held at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, an outstation of the Queen of Peace Parish.  The main celebrant was our Parish Priest, Rev. Father Charles Owusu Ansah.  The Homily talked about the different kinds of love, namely Utilitarian Love, Romantic Love, Democratic Love, Humanitarian Love and Christian Love.  He also mentioned how love can affect us and some of the results of: the three types of love, namely:
1)Not to love and not be love which is the  worst of all feelings for a human being,
2) to love but not to be loved in return which is a painful experience for the one not loved in return
3) to love and be loved in return which was the happiest and best situation to be in.
 He also talked about keeping love alive in marriage for there to be happiness.

 He blessed the new military uniforms of 3 Brothers and after they presented themselves in full military regalia, he blessed them and all the other newly initiated brothers and sisters of 2012.
After Mass, the Commandery and auxiliary made a presentation of cash to the Church which was received by the Church Chairman.  He had given a very relevant and encouraging welcome address when we arrived and was happy with the turnout of members. The Cadets and Juniors gave a military display to the congregation on the Church park. We later convened at Monrose Guest House for socialisation.
