CWA Boston presents new Exco to the Cameroon Community

April 12, 2015 remains an unforgettable date in the history of the Catholic Women Association (CWA) Queen of Peace Branch Boston USA, as the Cameroon Catholic Community witnessed the "vow taking" by the new executive members and its Patrons dedicated in the service of the Holy Virgin Mary.

The seed of the creation of the CWA Boston Branch was as a result of the official pastoral visit to Boston-USA by Bishop Andrew Nkea of the Diocese of Mamfe to the Cameroon Community in 2014. The presentation of its pioneer Exco, Patrons and a public display of its official new uniforms was a colourful and spectacular ceremony that has entered the record in the great city of Boston.

In a spirited Holy Mass celebrated on the Feast of Divine Mercy, with readings from the Acts of the Apostles, First Book of John including the Gospel of John, Rev. Father Maurice Agbaw-Ebai who is also the Spiritual Director of the newly created CWA Queen of Peace Branch, used the Resurrection of the Living Christ to illustrates the challenges of the CWA to a call of a new life.

Father Maurice Agbaw-Ebai further read to the hearing of the congregation a congratulatory letter from the National President of the CWA in Cameroon Prof. Theresa Nkuo-Akenji. The letter made it clear that CWA Queen of Peace Branch-Boston has the recognition of a fully registered group of CWA Cameroon and will be channelled to the secretariat of the National Episcopal Conference of the Cameroon Bishops.

The National President also cautioned the new Queen of Peace Branch to remain faithful to the statutes and by-laws of the golden Association. The new Exco members as presented to Cameroon Concord are Pioneer president Mofa Patricia Nanje, Secretary General Ma Mpey Arrey Evelyne, Financial Secretary Bridget Aroke, Treasurer Bridget Dohmatob, Social Secretary Adel Njike, Liturgy Director Ashu Cecilia, First Adviser Amina Margaret, Second Adviser Pauline Acha, Publicity Secretary Constance Nkwanta and Spiritual Director Fr. Maurice Agbaw-Ebai.
