CWN Editor's Note: At the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference’s meeting this week, the conference’s president devoted his keynote address to the theme of “Communion, Participation and Mission: Preparing the Catholic Church in Ghana for Her 150th Anniversary.”
Addressing his confrères and members of the lay faithful at a Catholic high school in the small town of Jamasi, in the Diocese of Konongo-Mampong, Bishop Matthew Kwasi Gyamfi of Sunyani said on November 9 that “in 2030, we will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Catholic Church’s establishment in Ghana.”
“We are invited to undertake more than an exercise in historical remembrance,” he continued. “This approaching milestone presents an opportunity for ecclesial introspection, spiritual renewal and pastoral reawakening. It calls us to contemplate, with gratitude, the providential journey of faith entrusted to our predecessors, while discerning with renewed conviction the mission which the Lord continues to place before us.”
