The Parish Priest of St Joseph the Worker Catholic Church, Community Eight, Tema, has called on Christians to fight against the ills of society.

Very Reverend Fr. Alfred Attah Eshun, who made the call, said Christians must always find solutions to problems and challenges confronting the society.

He was preaching at a Holy Mass to commemorate the 83rd Founders Day celebration of the Noble Order of the Knights and Ladies of Marshall in Tema on Saturday.

The Marshallans later presented GH¢1,500 to the parish.

Very Rev. Fr Eshun, who is also the Greater Accra Regional Chaplain of the Noble Order, reminded the Marshallans that it was the need to resist and fight against the infiltration of secret societies into the Catholic Church that made the 13 founders start the Noble Order.

He admitted that the Marshallan fraternity had remained loyal and committed to the Catholic Church and assisted effectively in its lay apostolate in the church.

“I urge you to continue to do everything for the growth of the church as encapsulated in your motto, ‘Unity, Charity, Fraternity and Service’ ”, he said.

The Regional Grand Knight, Mr Charles Brew-Hammond, said the selfless leadership of the founders of the Marshallan fraternity would always be a point of reference for the Noble Order to build a stronger fraternal society.

“Whatever support we are giving to the church, the clergy and to other Ghanaians and whatever we are enjoying as Marshallans has come about as a result of the efforts of our founding fathers in establishing this Noble Order,” he said.

Mr Brew-Hammond promised that the Marshallan fraternity would be guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church and the tenets of the Noble Order.
