Diasporans Parishioners bring comfort and charity to the sick at Kukurantumi Akyem

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.
