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.

Book of Exodus 3,13-20.

Moses, hearing the voice of the LORD from... the burning bush, said to him, “When I go to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ if they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what am I to tell them?”
God replied, "I am who am." Then he added, "This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you."
God spoke further to Moses, "Thus shall you say to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. "This is my name forever; this is my title for all generations.
"Go and assemble the elders of the Israelites, and tell them: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me and said: I am concerned about you and about the way you are being treated in Egypt;
so I have decided to lead you up out of the misery of Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.
"Thus they will heed your message. Then you and the elders of Israel shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent us word. Permit us, then, to go a three days' journey in the desert, that we may offer sacrifice to the LORD, our God.
"Yet I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless he is forced.
I will stretch out my hand, therefore, and smite Egypt by doing all kinds of wondrous deeds there. After that he will send you away."

Psalms 105(104),1.5.8-9.24-25.26-27.

Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name;
make... known among the nations his deeds.
Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought,
his portents, and the judgments he has uttered.

He remembers forever his covenant
which he made binding for a thousand generations.
Which he entered into with Abraham
and by his oath to Isaac.

He greatly increased his people
and made them stronger than their foes,
Whose hearts he changed, so that they hated his people,
and dealt deceitfully with his servants.

He sent Moses his servant;
Aaron, whom he had chosen.
They wrought his signs among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 11,28-30.

Jesus said to the crowds: “Come to me, all... you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
