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.

Thursday of the Twenty-ninth week in Ordinary Time

Letter to the Ephesians 3,14-21.

Brothers and sisters: I kneel before the Father,
from... whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love,
may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Psalms 33(32),1-2.4-5.11-12.18-19.

Exult, you just, in the LORD;
Praise... from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
With the ten stringed lyre chant his praises

For upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.

But the plan of the LORD stands forever;
The design of his heart, through all generations.
Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.

See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 12,49-53.

Jesus said to his disciples: “I have come... to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!
There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!
Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three;
a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
