Kumasi, July 24, GNA – The Amakom Saint Paul’s Catholic Church in Kumasi at the weekend disbursed 12 million cedis to 30 needy members of the church, to enable them to undertake economic activities to improve their standard of living.
The money was raised by the Holy Matrimony Society of the Church at a fund raising during its anniversary celebration recently. The Very Reverend Father Philip Opoku-Nyame, the Parish Priest, presented the money to the beneficiaries, who received 400,000 cedis each.
