He congratulated SWAN for attaining the age of 60 as a body and finding it necessary to thank God while urging members to continue to discharge their duties with fear of God.
The priest prayed that the diamond jubilee and award ceremony scheduled for Oct. 29 to 31 will be a success and prayed for journey Mercy for all those who would travel for the event.
