Memorial Mass
Praying for departed Knights, Ladies, Cadets, and Juniors
Memorial Masses unite the living members of Accra West in prayer for deceased brothers and sisters — honoring their service and commending their souls to God.
The Grand Chaplain presides or delegates celebrants across participating parishes. Pastoral care extends to bereaved families through visits, condolence messages, and welfare support coordinated by commandery and auxiliary officers.
Members are encouraged to submit names of departed brethren to their secretaries before the Grand Mass so they may be included in the official memorial roll and announced during the liturgy.
Memorial Mass binds the living and the dead in one fraternal family. Through prayer, wreaths, and the Roll of Honour, Accra West affirms that service in KSJI does not end with earthly life.
Local units observe moments of silence, candlelight vigils, and parish requiem Masses — extending comfort to widows, children, and families who shared their loved ones with the Order.
