The Catholic Archdiocese of Accra has begun the new year with key pastoral and administrative changes, as Metropolitan Archbishop Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie C.S.Sp assigns priests to strategic roles within the local Church.

The appointments, announced in a letter dated January 2 2026 and addressed to all priests of the Archdiocese, are to run for a five year term and are aimed at deepening service to the people of God through both governance and specialised pastoral care.

At the heart of the new assignments is the appointment of Rev. Fr. John Patrick Tindana as Chancellor and Archivist of the Archdiocese of Accra. In this capacity, Fr. Tindana will be responsible for the custody and administration of official ecclesiastical records and archives, a role critical to the orderly functioning, legal integrity and historical memory of the Archdiocese.

The Archbishop has also entrusted Rev. Fr. David Amissah Andoh with the ministry of chaplaincy at the Battor Catholic Hospital. His new role places him within the Church’s healing apostolate, where he will accompany patients, families and health professionals through prayer, pastoral presence and the celebration of the sacraments.

Birth of Saint John the Baptist

Book of Isaiah 49,1-6.

Hear me, O islands, listen, O distant peoples. The... Lord called me from birth, from my mother's womb he gave me my name.
He made of me a sharp-edged sword and concealed me in the shadow of his arm. He made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me.
You are my servant, he said to me, Israel, through whom I show my glory.
Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength, Yet my reward is with the LORD, my recompense is with my God.
For now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb, That Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him; And I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength!
It is too little, he says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

Psalms 139(138),1-3.13-14ab.14c-15.

O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you... know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.

Truly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother's womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works.

My soul also you knew full well;
nor was my frame unknown to you
when I was made in secret,
when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth.

Acts of the Apostles 13,22-26.

In those days, Paul said: “God raised up... David as king; of him God testified, I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.
From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.
John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;
and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'"
"My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent".

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1,57-66.80.

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have... her child she gave birth to a son.
Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,
but his mother said in reply, "No. He will be called John."
But they answered her, "There is no one among your relatives who has this name."
So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called.
He asked for a tablet and wrote, "John is his name," and all were amazed.
Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God.
Then fear came upon all their neighbors, and all these matters were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea.
All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, "What, then, will this child be?" For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.
The child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the desert until the day of his manifestation to Israel.
