The Catholic Diocese of Konongo-Mampong has indefinitely suspended Rev. Fr. Samuel Adapore due to serious misconduct. This decision, effective from August 24, 2026, was made by Most Rev. John Opoku-Agyemang, the Bishop of the Diocese. Rev. Fr. Adapore, who previously served as Rector at St. Anthony of Padua Rectorate, has been barred from administering sacraments and conducting liturgical services.
The suspension stems from the priest's unapproved leave of absence from the diocese, abandonment of his pastoral duties, removal of personal belongings from the mission house, and isolation from family and the community. The Bishop cited Canon 533 §1, emphasizing a heavy heart but duty to the Church, and urged the faithful to pray for Fr. Adapore.
