Awka Grand Commandery has held her end/beginning of new tenure thanksgiving mass.
The event which took place on Saturday, 22nd January, 2022 to appreciate God for His blessings and guidance to the Grand Commandery which led to the successful end of tenure of past Officers and prompt election of the new Officers.
The Eucharistic Celebration (mass) led by the new Grand Spiritual Director, Very Rev. Fr. Evaristus Ifeanacho was concelebrated with nine other Spiritual Advisers, including Very Rev Fr. (Barr.) Tony Ezeoke, the Grand’s past Spiritual Director.
The theme of the Homily was “He was beside himself” as Jesus being so engrossed in His mission, had no time to eat. We were encouraged by the Preacher to so do by being committed to our assignments and responsibilities as Officers of the Order.
Other side attractions include a brief interaction of the Board members with the New Grand President Brig. Gen. Jonathan Ezeuchu and the Grand Respected President, Noble Lady Loyice Onyali, as both Brothers and Sisters were involved in the Thanksgiving Mass. The past GP used the opportunity also to appreciate his Officers and other Commanderies who performed most creditably.
A moderate entertainment brought the ceremony to an end.
