AFRICA/GHANA - Five young persons excel at the Jubilee Year of Mercy competition

Accra (Agenzia Fides) - "Every one of you is a leader, every one of you is a winner, and every one of you is unique", said the Archbishop of Accra, Archbishop Charles Palmer-Buckle, at an award ceremony held at the Holy Spirit Cathedral to award five persons with cash prized who excel at the Jubilee Year of Mercy competition and three hundred seventy-five 375 others for participation in the competition organized by the Accra Catholic Leadership Roundtable.
