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.

    Friday of the Twenty-seventh week in Ordinary Time

    Letter to the Galatians 3,7-14.

    Brothers and sisters: Realize that it is those... who have faith who are children of Abraham.
    Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold the good news to Abraham, saying, "Through you shall all the nations be blessed."
    Consequently, those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham who had faith.
    For all who depend on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not persevere in doing all the things written in the book of the law."
    And that no one is justified before God by the law is clear, for "the one who is righteous by faith will live."
    But the law does not depend on faith; rather, "the one who does these things will live by them."
    Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree,"
    that the blessing of Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

    Psalms 111(110),1-2.3-4.5-6.

    I will give thanks to the LORD with all my... heart
    in the company and assembly of the just.
    Great are the works of the LORD,
    exquisite in all their delights.

    Majesty and glory are his work,
    and his justice endures forever.
    He has won renown for his wondrous deeds;
    gracious and merciful is the LORD.

    He has given food to those who fear him;
    He will forever be mindful of his covenant.
    He has made known to his people the power of his works,
    giving them the inheritance of the nations.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,15-26.

    When Jesus had driven out a demon, some of... the crowd said: "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons."
    Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
    But he knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.
    And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
    If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
    But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
    When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe.
    But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
    Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
    When an unclean spirit goes out of someone, it roams through arid regions searching for rest but, finding none, it says, 'I shall return to my home from which I came.'
    But upon returning, it finds it swept clean and put in order.
    Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself who move in and dwell there, and the last condition of that person is worse than the first."
