Before now, the Parish has operated a structure that embodied Parish Life, Spiritual Life, and Worship, and Communal Life all reporting to the Parish Pastoral Council PPC, through the Church Committee. Mr. Emmanuel Omodia was the elected leader of Parish Life, where Mr. Moses Agbohense said as Secretary, every societies and groups in the Parish reported to this body. Though the parish entertained initial fear on how to entrench the Laity Council in the system, there was also a relief knowing that we had already an existing structure to accommodate such council. In 2001, the Archdiocesan Laity Council visited St. Michael’s, Ketu and demanded the establishment of a fully fledged Laity Council for the Parish. What obtained then was parish life (already discussed above), but the coordinator and secretary attend all Deanery and Archdiocesan Laity Council meetings in a representatives capacity, After the expiration of four years, two ten or in 2002 of Mr. E.
