• Choir executives
A 24-member Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) Executive was recently inaugurated at St John of God Catholic Church at Amrahia in the Adentan Metropolitan area to serve two years.
Dr Stephen Arthur is the President of the Council while Ms Thyra Mabel Ofoli- Tagoe is the Vice-President and supported by other executive members.
The Church Choir executive was the second to be inaugurated and also mandated to serve a two-year term in office.
In a related development, the Ga Adangbe Society was also inaugurated in the church with the mission to aid in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and foster better relationship among members.
Very Rev Fr Godfred Nuba Bondi, a visiting Priest from the Wa Diocese of the Catholic Church, in his homily, asked the faithful to take delight in building, “human cathedrals” instead of amassing wealth, sometimes at the expense of others.
He advised that as children of God, they should let their lives be examples for others to emulate, read the word of God diligently, pray fervently and back their faith with action.
“ You cannot impart the word of God to others if you fail to read the Bible. Remember that it was through the word of God that the world was created and for that reason you should use the word of God as your spiritual armour,” he advised.
He assured the congregation not to entertain fears because the light of God would lead them through the darkness of this world, just as it had led the Israelites through the desert to the promised land.
Very Rev Fr Godfred Bondi urged Christians to rely solely on God to gain salvation, adding that the disciples left what they had and followed Jesus Christ. He, therefore, asked, “ whom are you following?
He called on the faithful to pray fervently for the priests and encourage them to move on in their efforts to lead others to Christ.
The outgoing PPC President, Mr Edward Adimazoya said his administrationadopted a leadership of integrity, accountability, humility and transparency during its tenure, adding that leadership was continuity and was optimistic that the new administration would continue from where they had left off.
Dr Stephen Arthur thanked the congregation for the trust reposed in his team and assured that his administration would at the appropriate time share its vision with 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.
