When the news of Br Jean Baptiste's demise got to his mom, she made two passionate appeals: That we should wear our habits and visit her before she dies. Secondly, on her death, we should come in our numbers to bid her farewell.

Introduction
The Marist Community of Accra is a three-member Community. The District Superior; Brother Cyprian Bankakuu Gandeebo and the District Bursar/Secretary; Brother Birkem Pascal are part of this Community. Being a Community with a special character, Brother Gilbert Asong Dakora often finds himself alone when the other two members are away on duty. The Lockdown period has therefore been the longest uninterrupted time all the members of this Community have lived together; that is from March 20th till today.
