She commended the Archbishop for this project, emphasizing that this project provides the opportunity for Catholics to also contribute immensely to the progress of this project.
“It is an opportunity for us Catholics to also contribute our quota to ensure that we are able to achieve whatever vision that the Bishop has for the Diocese.”
Respected Lady Sister Sampson added that the building of a project in a deprived community like Adjen-Kotoku will go a long way to be a huge assistance for the people.
“Looking at the community, we can see that this is a community deprived of a lot of facilities. So if we’re able to complete this edifice, it’s going to be a huge assistance for the community,” she said.
She seized the opportunity to call on all Catholics, especially societies, and other groups to help support the Archbishop’s vision.
