Guided by the axiom that a nation which does not honour its heroes is not worth dying for, the St John of God Catholic Church at Amrahia in the Adentan Municipality has marked its 16th feast day by honouring past church executives.
Running through the citations, the church expressed her gratitude to the recipients for their invaluable, dedicated and selfless services they had rendered to the church.
In his homily,Very Rev Fr Emmanuel Obeng Cudjoe, called on Christians to put their trust in God no matter the difficulties and challenges they faced,adding that the Israelites went through series of problems in the desert in order to take possession of the promised land.
He asked Christians to put their hope in God since he would not fail them. ” Each person has been given an assignment by God to accomplish on earth. Once you are alive, know that you are precious in the sight of God and He who is faithful will not disappoint you, provided you trust in him,” he assured.
Very Rev Fr Obeng Cudjoe said God who worked in mysterious ways, caused Pharaoh’s daughter to save the baby Moses when his father sought to kill all the first-born male babies of the Israelites.
He advised Christians not to grumble when confronted with challenges but put their hope in God.
A former Chairman of the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC),Mr David Combat who gave a brief history of how the church started, praised those who had contributed in diverse ways to the formation of the church.

Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
