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.

    Daily Reading

    Monday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

    1st book of Kings 17,1-6.

    Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said... to Ahab: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, during these years there shall be no dew or rain except at my word."
    The LORD then said to Elijah:
    "Leave here, go east and hide in the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
    You shall drink of the stream, and I have commanded ravens to feed you there."
    So he left and did as the LORD had commanded. He went and remained by the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
    Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the stream.

    Psalms 121(120),1-2.3-4.5-6.7-8.

    I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
    whence... shall help come to me?
    My help is from the LORD,
    who made heaven and earth.

    May he not suffer your foot to slip;
    may he slumber not who guards you:
    indeed he neither slumbers nor sleeps,
    the guardian of Israel.

    The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade;
    he is beside you at your right hand.
    The sun shall not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

    The LORD will guard you from all evil;
    he will guard your life.
    The LORD will guard your coming and your going,
    both now and forever.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5,1-12.

    When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the... mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
    He began to teach them, saying:
    "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
    Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
    Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
    Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
    Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
    Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.
    Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."
