The Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, has announced the relocation of site for a children’s hospital project by the Archdiocese.

The announcement was carried in a letter from the office of the Archbishop, addressed to priests and faithful of the Accra Archdiocese.

According to the letter, the new site for the project is Adjen Kotoku.

Archbishop Kwofie notes that the move became necessary due to “contractual obligations with the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission at the site that was given to the Church to start this project.”

“We are still in talks with the Commission, to negotiate new terms for this parcel of land. We will share more updates, as and when we make progress,” the letter added.

The Archbishop assures that due diligence has been completed for this new site and resources are being mobilised to complete site tests and acquire the necessary permits for the commencement of the project.

The initiative which to be situated around the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission in the Kpehe Deanery will now be in the heart of Adjen Kotoku, a suburb of Accra, off the main Accra-Kumasi road.

This stretch of land is the property of the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, and sits within the Kaneshie Deanery, under the Adjen-Kotoku community of St. Peter Catholic Church.

First Letter to the Corinthians 8,1b-7.11-13.

Brothers and sisters : Knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up.
If anyone supposes he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.
But if one... loves God, one is known by him.
So about the eating of meat sacrificed to idols: we know that "there is no idol in the world," and that "there is no God but one."
Indeed, even though there are so-called gods in heaven and on earth (there are, to be sure, many "gods" and many "lords"),
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist.
But not all have this knowledge. There are some who have been so used to idolatry up until now that, when they eat meat sacrificed to idols, their conscience, which is weak, is defiled.
Thus through your knowledge, the weak person is brought to destruction, the brother for whom Christ died.
When you sin in this way against your brothers and wound their consciences, weak as they are, you are sinning against Christ.
Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I may not cause my brother to sin.
