“The regalia does not make you a TRUE KNIGHT or a LADY instead practice and fulfill the basic tenets of the Noble Order namely: Unity, Charity, Fraternity and Service”.
In a homily to commemorate the Marshallan Day at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, New Powmu near Akosombo, Rev. Fr. Evans Yayra Akaxoxo, Parish Priest of Akosombo, Santa Barbara Parish admonished members of Council 45 and Court 38, Akosombo who gathered to worship and celebrate the achievements of the Founder.
