The St. Dominic Commandery # 852, of the
Knight of the St. John International, recently commemorated the first
anniversary of its establishment with a thanksgiving Mass at the St. Dominic
Catholic Church, Mallam in the Accra Archdiocese.
Rev. Fr. Wisdom Dordunu, Parish Priest,
St. John the Baptist, Odokor and main celebrant at the Mass, entreated the
Knights and Christians to practice the Word of God.
“It is not enough to be Christians in name
or know the scriptures thoroughly, if we are not able to do the will of God or
put to practice what the scriptures say” he said in a homily.
Fr. Dordunu, who doubles as the Spiritual
Director of the Order, charged the Knights and the Christians to show
compassion and be merciful to everyone and not just their immediate family
members and friends.
He asked Christians to be empathetic,
merciful and kind to their neighbours not only in words but in their deeds.
Sir Knight Patrick Kaba, President of the
Commandery, in an address recounted that the Mallam Commandery which started with
26 has grown by the initiation of four (4) more members.
He said efforts were underway to inaugurate the Ladies
Auxiliary anytime soon to complement the Knights in the Commandery.
