The Accra Archdiocesan leadership of the Catholic Organisation for Social and Religious Advancement visited their founder, Monsignor Jonathan Ankrah, at the AAPA House in Dansoman over the weekend, in a move aimed at strengthening ties and charting the future direction of the organisation.
The visit was marked by the formal introduction of the newly appointed chaplain for the Accra chapter, Very Rev. Fr. John Benyah Mensah, and an opportunity to receive guidance from the founder on the growth and development of COSRA.
President of COSRA in the Archdiocese of Accra, Mr. Prosper Narteh Agbeyome, said the delegation had come not only to present the new chaplain but also to engage their founder on the current state and future prospects of the organisation.
Fr. Benyah Mensah, in his remarks, assured members of his commitment to the group, pledging pastoral support and openness in his ministry. He said his doors remain open at all times to assist members and support their initiatives.
Msgr. Ankrah expressed appreciation for the visit and encouraged members to remain united in order to sustain and grow the organisation. He also extended an invitation to young adult Catholics who may not feel at home in existing groups within the Church.
“Young people who don’t want to join the old societies can join COSRA easily. So that is positive. It will continue to grow, even when I’m dead. They will continue to grow. I can feel that,” he said.
The visit also drew participation from the COSRA diocesan leadership of Navrongo Bolgatanga, who presented a token of appreciation to the founder in recognition of his vision and enduring impact.
