Five Catholic priests in Ghana's Koforidua Diocese have pooled GH¢1.6 million from their personal funds to build St. John Vianney Catholic Church, a 300-capacity structure serving four nearby communities in New Juaben South Municipality. The church, located in Trom, is expected to facilitate worship for Trom, Bornya, Korle, and Abansro residents.
Monsignor Francis Twum-Barimah, the Diocese's Vicar General, will oversee the new church and offer pastoral services. Bishop Joseph Afrifah-Agyekum, the Catholic Bishop of Koforidua, praised the initiative, calling it exceptional and commending the priests for their thoughtfulness and dedication to the project's completion within eight months.
The priests, led by Very Rev. Fr. Ebenezer Kenneth Abban, the President of the Koforidua Diocesan Priests Association, successfully completed the project, which brings the diocese's total number of parishes and quasi-parishes to 54. The new church will provide a more suitable worship environment and encourage greater participation in Catholic activities.
