About Us

Catholic Trends is an initiative of the Trends Media Foundation LGB, a non-profit media organization based in Ghana. The initiative provides global news coverage of the Catholic Church with emphasis on the Church in Africa. Founded in 2022 by a group of young, passionate, and dedicated Catholic media and communication professionals, Catholic Trends has quickly expanded to become the Catholic News Hub in Ghana and beyond.

Our mission at Catholic Trends is to leverage new media technologies and the enthusiasm of our young volunteers to provide Catholic dioceses and parishes in  Africa and beyond with access to the most recent news in response to the Church’s New Evangelization initiative. We believe that access to timely news and information is crucial to fostering a sense of Catholic thought and building a stronger Catholic community in Ghana.

At Catholic Trends, we capture the Church’s activities in pictures, videos, and news articles via our website and social media handles to raise awareness and enhance the evangelisation mission. Our goal is to provide a platform for Catholics in Ghana and Africa especially to connect and engage with their faith and to promote a deeper understanding of the Catholic Church’s teachings, values, and traditions.

As a non-profit organization, Trends Media Foundation LGB relies on the support of donors and sponsors to continue our mission of providing accurate and timely news coverage of the Catholic Church in Ghana. We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of journalistic integrity and transparency in all our reporting and providing a forum for diverse perspectives and opinions on issues that affect the Catholic community in Ghana and beyond.

Our commitment to new media technologies, journalistic integrity, and community engagement makes us a unique and valuable resource for Catholics in Africa and worldwide.

    First Letter to the Corinthians 15,35-37.42-49.

    Brothers and sisters : Someone may say, "How... are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come back?"
    You fool! What you sow is not brought to life unless it dies.
    And what you sow is not the body that is to be but a bare kernel of wheat, perhaps, or of some other kind;
    So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible.
    It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful.
    It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.
    So, too, it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living being," the last Adam a life-giving spirit.
    But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual.
    The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from heaven.
    As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly.
    Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

    Psalms 56(55),10c-11.12-13.

    Now I know that God is with me.
    In God, in... whose promise I glory,
    in God I trust without fear;
    what can flesh do against me?

    I am bound, O God, by vows to you;
    your thank offerings I will fulfill.
    For you have rescued me from death,
    my feet, too, from stumbling;
    that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 8,4-15.

    When a large crowd gathered, with people from... one town after another journeying to Jesus, he spoke in a parable.
    A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.
    Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture.
    Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
    And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
    Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.
    He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.'
    This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
    Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved.
    Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.
    As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.
    But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance."
