The Christian Mothers’ Association has donated food items valued at GH₵10,000 to seminarians at the St. Gregory the Great Major Seminary, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the formation of future Catholic priests.
The donation formed part of the Association’s annual Palm Sunday missionary visit to the seminary, a growing tradition led by the National President, Hannah Essuman, and her team. The initiative focuses on pastoral care, mentorship, and practical support for seminarians within the province and beyond.
This year’s visit saw the Christian Mothers provide essential food supplies, including rice, maize, beans, yam, cooking oil, and tomato puree, benefiting a seminary community of about 230 students and staff. The group also shared meals with the seminarians, strengthening bonds of spiritual motherhood and encouragement.
In a significant highlight of the visit, 46 seminarians were initiated into the Association, symbolizing a deepening relationship between the lay group and future clergy.
The event drew strong participation from leadership across levels, including provincial and diocesan executives, as well as past national presidents.
Addressing the seminarians, Mother Essuman encouraged them to remain steadfast in their vocation, urging them to stay rooted in prayer, faithful in formation, and humble in service. She reminded them of the demands of priesthood and the need for authentic leadership grounded in sacrifice and compassion.
She further emphasised that the world today is in need of truth, hope, and servant leadership, calling on the seminarians to model their lives after Christ.
