The Knights of St. John International and Ladies’ Auxiliary, a Catholic lay society committed to the upholding of justice, peace and dignity of God’s creation, align with the concerns raised by the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) in their press release issued on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, on “Protecting Our Common Home: A Call to End Environmental Degradation through Illegal Mining – Galamsey”. This press release reminds all, of the Papal encyclical “Laudato Si” which calls on all people to care for our common home, the Earth.
