A financial Institution under the management of the Catholic Diocese of Sunyani known as the Brong-Ahafo Catholic Cooperative for Social and Religious Advancement (BACCSOD) on Tuesday, 13th October, 2020 presented an amount of GH30,000.00 to the Catholic Diocese of Sunyani. The presentation is intended to help alleviate the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the activities of the Diocesan Secretariat.
The presentation was made on behalf of the institution by the Board Chairman of BACCSOD, Lawyer Eric Ansah Ankomah and Rev. Fr. Raphael Amoako Tawiah, the Diocesan General Manager. In a brief remark, the Board Chairman, Lawyer Ansah indicated that the institution knowing very well the stress the Diocesan Secretariat has encountered owing to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the institution needed to come in and support the Secretariat.
