This was to support the forthcoming students’ pilgrimage to the Dzodze- Tornu Sacred Heart Shrine.  The Pilgrimage to Dzodze-Tornu is a yearly Diocesan programme organised by the Bishop of Keta-Akatsi for all Catholic Schools and Catholic students to pray and present their petition to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to present the examination of final year students to God.

This year’s pilgrimage falls on Sunday, June 30, 2024.

The donation was made on behalf of the donor on June 22, 2024 by Rev. Fr. Michael Doe Gardemor, the Parish Priest of Alakple St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Sr. Agnes Mercy Nyatsoe, SMMC, the In- Charge of OLA Boarding House, Keta and a teacher at Keta OLA RC Convent Girls Basic School, received the donation in company with the Boarders.

On behalf of the Management of the Boarding House, she extended gratitude to Fr. Gardemor and Mrs. Stephens.

According to her, the School, especially the Boarding House needs support to cater for the needy children in the Boarding House.

OLA Boarding House is a Private Institution belonging to the Catholic Diocese of Keta-Akatsi and being managed by the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church (SMMC) congregation. It is attached to OLA Convent Girls, which is Government Assisted.

The Boarding House aims at grooming young Girls to become God-fearing and responsible citizens. Parents bring their wards not only for academic purposes but also for moral, psychological, social and spiritual formation that the children receive. Most of the children in the Boarding House need support.

Sr. Nyatsoe urged the pupils to study hard to impress their parents and those who are helping them.
