With the support of clergy members and faithful parishioners, the Congress aims to address contemporary challenges facing young Catholics while nurturing their faith and leadership skills.

The move is in line with the focus on youth and children in the Archdiocese by Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, Archbishop of Accra.

In December 2023, the Archbishop announced “Helping Children to seek Christ: From Discovery to Discipleship” as the common theme for all Churches in the Archdiocese for the year 2024.

The focus was to prioritize the spiritual growth and development of the younger members within the Archdiocese.

In a November 2024 statement addressed to priests, religious and laity of Accra,  Archbishop Kwofie expressed the significance of this theme, aligning it with the recent call by the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference to foster the growth of the Catholic Church.
