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.

Letter to the Galatians 4,22-24.26-27.31.5,1.

Brothers and sisters: It is written that Abraham... had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman.
The son of the slave woman was born naturally, the son of the freeborn through a promise.
Now this is an allegory. These women represent two covenants. One was from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.
But the Jerusalem above is freeborn, and she is our mother.
For it is written: "Rejoice, you barren one who bore no children; break forth and shout, you who were not in labor; for more numerous are the children of the deserted one than of her who has a husband."
Therefore, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman but of the freeborn woman.
For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

Psalms 113(112),1-2.3-4.5a.6-7.

Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise... the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
both now and forever.

From the rising to the setting of the sun
is the name of the LORD to be praised.
High above all nations is the LORD;
above the heavens is his glory.

Who is like the LORD, our God,
who looks upon the heavens and the earth below?
He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,29-32.

While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus... said to them, "This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here.
At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here."
