The Noble Order of the Knights and Ladies of Marshall (Marshallans), a Catholic-friendly society, has presented a cheque for GHc100,000 to the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) to procure personal protection equipment (PPEs) for frontline health workers in the Church Health facilities across the country.
This was In response to an appeal by the Secretary-General of GCBC, Very Rev. Father Lazarus Anondee, for support to fight COVID-19 pandemic recently.
With the support of Sir Kt. Bro. Tony Kemavor and Most Respected Lady Sis. Felicity Acquah, the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Marshall, Sir Kt. Bro. Charles Cobb presented the dummy cheque to the Vice President of the GCBC, the Most Rev. Charles Gabriel Palmer-Buckle.
Sir Kt. Bro. Cobb said the decision by the KLOM to donate towards the fight against COVID-19 was given the negative impact the disease had made on all aspects of the society.
“We are all committed to stopping the spread of COVID-19 so that our country can quickly return to normalcy and for us to resume our participation in pour usual daily and Sunday masses.” he said.
Archbishop Palmer-Buckle called on the public to stay positive and adhere strictly to the measures put in place by the government to prevent the spread of the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
He said although the steps taken by the government in dealing with the pandemic might have some challenges, it was important for the other stakeholders to fill the void by supporting to correct the difficulties rather than dwell on weaknesses inherent in them.
