The Ghana National Catholic Youth Council (GHANCYC), under the auspices of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, has honoured Mr. Dennis Appiah-Sasraku with a Citation of Honour in recognition of his outstanding dedication, selfless service, and exemplary leadership to the Catholic youth apostolate in Ghana.

The citation, presented by the National Executive of GHANCYC, acknowledges Mr. Appiah-Sasraku’s immense contributions to the growth and development of the Council, which serves as the umbrella body uniting Catholic youth across the Archdioceses, Dioceses, and Movements of the Church in Ghana.

According to the citation, Mr. Appiah-Sasraku distinguished himself through unwavering commitment, tireless sacrifices, and servant leadership, significantly strengthening the bonds of fellowship among Catholic youth throughout the country. His tenure and involvement in the youth ministry were marked by a deep sense of humility and faith, qualities that enabled him to champion the mission of the Council and guide young people towards responsible Christian discipleship.

The Council further noted that his leadership left a lasting legacy of service, unity, and commitment to the Church. Beyond advancing the work of GHANCYC, his devotion inspired many young Catholics across the various Archdioceses, Dioceses, and Movements to deepen their relationship with Christ and actively participate in the life and mission of the Church.

Presenting the honour, GHANCYC praised Mr. Appiah-Sasraku as a devoted son of the Church whose contributions have had a profound impact on the spiritual and leadership formation of Catholic youth in Ghana. The citation described his service as a shining example of commitment to the values of the Gospel and the ideals of Catholic youth ministry.

The Council emphasized that the recognition serves not only as an appreciation of his past achievements but also as a testament to the enduring influence of his leadership and mentorship among generations of young Catholics.

Book of Jeremiah 13,1-11.

The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen... loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.
I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on.
A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus:
Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go now to the Parath; there hide it in a cleft of the rock.
Obedient to the LORD'S command, I went to the Parath and buried the loincloth.
After a long interval, he said to me: Go now to the Parath and fetch the loincloth which I told you to hide there.
Again I went to the Parath, sought out and took the loincloth from the place where I had hid it. But it was rotted, good for nothing!
Then the message came to me from the LORD:
Thus says the LORD: So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot, the great pride of Jerusalem.
This wicked people who refuse to obey my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts, and follow strange gods to serve and adore them, shall be like this loincloth which is good for nothing.
For, as close as the loincloth clings to a man's loins, so had I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, says the LORD; to be my people, my renown, my praise, my beauty. But they did not listen.

Book of Deuteronomy 32,18-19.20.21.

You were unmindful of the Rock that begot... you,
you forgot the God who gave you birth.
When the LORD saw this, he was filled with loathing
and anger toward his sons and daughters.  
"I will hide my face from them," he said,
"and see what will then become of them.
What a fickle race they are,
sons with no loyalty in them!"
"Since they have provoked me with their 'no-god'
and angered me with their vain idols,
I will provoke them with a 'no-people';
with a foolish nation I will anger them."

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13,31-35.

Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds. "The... kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field.
It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"
He spoke to them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened."
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in parables,
to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world."
