The Catholic Church in Ghana has officially announced a second National Catholic Education Forum, scheduled to take place from 10-15 March 2025 in the Diocese of Koforidua.

The event, initially set for September 2024, was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances but is now confirmed to proceed in March 2025.

Most Reverend Joseph Afrifah-Agyekum, the Bishop of Koforidua Diocese and the Episcopal Chairperson for the Catholic Education Unit, addressed the public on behalf of the Catholic Church and the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference. He expressed the Church’s commitment to fostering quality education in Ghana and highlighted the forum’s focus on shaping an inclusive and resilient society.

The upcoming forum, titled Catholic Education for Integral Development: Shaping a Resilient and Inclusive Ghana, will bring together educational leaders, policymakers, and key figures in the sector.

The event will be a platform for discussing the vital role of Catholic education in promoting holistic development, ensuring inclusivity, and strengthening resilience within the country’s educational framework.

Tuesday of the Twentieth week in Ordinary Time

Book of Judges 6,11-24a.

The angel of the LORD came and sat under the... terebinth in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. While his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press to save it from the Midianites,
the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, "The LORD is with you, O champion!"
"My Lord," Gideon said to him, "if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are his wondrous deeds of which our fathers told us when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' For now the LORD has abandoned us and has delivered us into the power of Midian."
The LORD turned to him and said, "Go with the strength you have and save Israel from the power of Midian. It is I who send you."
But he answered him, "Please, my lord, how can I save Israel? My family is the meanest in Manasseh, and I am the most insignificant in my father's house."
"I shall be with you," the LORD said to him, "and you will cut down Midian to the last man."
He answered him, "If I find favor with you, give me a sign that you are speaking with me.
Do not depart from here, I pray you, until I come back to you and bring out my offering and set it before you." He answered, "I will await your return."
So Gideon went off and prepared a kid and an ephah of flour in the form of unleavened cakes. Putting the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, he brought them out to him under the terebinth and presented them.
The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and unleavened cakes and lay them on this rock; then pour out the broth." When he had done so,
the angel of the LORD stretched out the tip of the staff he held, and touched the meat and unleavened cakes. Thereupon a fire came up from the rock which consumed the meat and unleavened cakes, and the angel of the LORD disappeared from sight.
Gideon, now aware that it had been the angel of the LORD, said, "Alas, Lord GOD, that I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!"
The LORD answered him, "Be calm, do not fear. You shall not die."
So Gideon built there an altar to the LORD and called it Yahweh-shalom.
