Christ the King Catholic Church walks for peace
Christ the King Catholic Church at Effiakuma and its outstations last Saturday went on a Peace Walk to drum home the need for peace in Ghana.
The walk was part of activities planned to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the church which was started by the Franciscan Friars, an Order in the Catholic Church.
It started from the main Parish at Effiakuma through St. Augustine’s Church at Effia to Immaculate Conception at Anaji through the principal streets of Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipal Assembly and back to Effiakuma covering over 20 kilometres
The Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Vitus Edem Yao Mensah, his assistant Rev. Fr. Derrick Y. Bressey supported by Rev. Frs. Thaddaeus Apetorgbor, Emmanuel Adjei Nsiah and Christian Ahiawodzi all of the Christ the King Catholic Parish led the members.
They carried placards some of which read “Ghana is a PEACE Loving Nation, Jealously Preserve the PEACE, A Nation Without PEACE will know no Development, Be your Brother’s Keeper, When there is War, Women, Children and the less Privileged Suffer Most, Pray for PEACE and UNITY in Ghana”.
Others were “Unforgiveness will kill Ghanaians, Love does not hate, Trust in God with all your heart, Christ is in you, the hope of your glory, Don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit is in and you are sealed.”
From Peter Gbambila, Effiakuma.
