The five priests raised GH¢1.6 million to build a 300-capacity church for Trom, Bornya, Korle, and Abansro. Previously, parishioners had to travel over three miles to the nearest church. The new St. John Vianney Catholic Church, dedicated to the patron saint of Catholic priests, is now ready for Mass.
