Second Global Rosary Congress convenes in Wa to foster peace and religious tolerance
Thousands of Catholics, alongside diverse religious groups and traditional leaders, have convened at the Wa Malik Jaabre Sports Stadium for the second edition of the Global Rosary Congress.
The second Global Rosary Congress has gathered thousands of Catholics, diverse religious groups, and traditional leaders at the Wa Malik Jaabre Sports Stadium for a three-day event focused on evangelisation and peace. High-profile clerics and state officials are attending to promote religious harmony and spiritual renewal. Bishop Peter Paul Yelezuome urged Christians to see the Rosary as a potent tool for evangelisation, not just a passive tradition, challenging them to bear witness to Christ's teachings in daily life to address societal issues like poverty, illiteracy, and tribal tensions.
Reverend Father David Obeng Paintsil, founder of the Global Rosary Network, shared the origins of the Congress, which began as digital prayer sessions during the 2022 pandemic, attributing a miraculous escape from a near-fatal car accident in 2016 to the intervention of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Upper West Regional Minister Charles Lwanga Puozuing expressed excitement about hosting the event and promised to purchase 50 rosaries for those in need.
Traditional leaders, including Wa Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV, underscored the region's commitment to religious tolerance, emphasizing that people of different faiths are united under one identity.
