Jewel of Honour
Special recognition for exceptional service
The Jewel of Honour is among the highest recognitions a knight may receive — celebrating exceptional devotion, leadership, and service beyond ordinary expectation.
Recipients may include long-serving officers, chaplaincy collaborators, welfare pioneers, and knights whose quiet fidelity has strengthened parishes across Accra West.
The award inspires fellow members to serve with greater zeal — knowing that faithful labour in the vineyard of the Lord is seen and celebrated by the Order.
