The Diasporans Parishioners Association of the Sacred Heart Quasi Parish, Kukurantumi Akyem, has extended hope and compassion to sick, aged and vulnerable members of the parish through a home visitation outreach marked by prayer, generosity and Christian solidarity.

The visit took place on December 27 2025 as part of the Association’s Second Homecoming, held from December 26 to 28 under the theme The Samaritan Purse. During the outreach, members visited 22 parishioners in their homes, spending time in prayer and fellowship with those unable to participate fully in parish life due to illness or age.

The encounters were characterised by hymn singing, shared prayers and words of encouragement, creating moments of deep spiritual connection. The sick and elderly parishioners also shared their personal stories, testimonies and daily challenges in an atmosphere of trust and empathy.

As a practical expression of care, the Association presented each beneficiary with food items and cash donations. The gesture brought joy and consolation to the recipients, many of whom expressed heartfelt appreciation for the concern shown by their fellow parishioners living abroad.

The beneficiaries commended the Association for its generosity, describing the visit as a living example of Christian charity inspired by the Good Samaritan. They offered prayers for God’s continued blessings upon all members of the group.

Activities marking the Second Homecoming concluded on December 28 with a Thanksgiving Mass celebrated by Rev Fr Raphael Appiah Nimoh. The Mass brought together parishioners from near and far to thank God for the success of the outreach and to renew their commitment to unity, service and the holistic growth of the parish.

As a recognised development partner of the Sacred Heart Quasi Parish, the Diasporans Parishioners Association continues to support welfare and development initiatives within the community. Through acts of charity such as this outreach, the Association affirms its dedication to living the Gospel by caring for the sick, the vulnerable and those in need.

Book of Isaiah 55,6-9.

Seek the LORD while he may be found, call... him while he is near.
Let the scoundrel forsake his way, and the wicked man his thoughts; Let him turn to the LORD for mercy; to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts.

Psalms 145(144),2-3.8-9.17-18.

Every day will I bless you,
and I... will praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD and highly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.

The LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.

Letter to the Philippians 1,20c-24.27a.

Brothers and sisters: Christ will be magnified... in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.
If I go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. And I do not know which I shall choose.
I am caught between the two. I long to depart this life and be with Christ, (for) that is far better.
Yet that I remain (in) the flesh is more necessary for your benefit.
Only, conduct yourselves in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 20,1-16a.

Jesus told his disciples this parable: "The... kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard.
After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard.
Going out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
and he said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.'
So they went off. (And) he went out again around noon, and around three o'clock, and did likewise.
Going out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?'
They answered, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard.'
When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.'
When those who had started about five o'clock came, each received the usual daily wage.
So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage.
And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner,
saying, 'These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the day's burden and the heat.'
He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?
(Or) am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?'
Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last."
