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

    Saturday of the Fifteenth week in Ordinary Time

    Book of Micah 2,1-5.

    Woe to those who plan iniquity, and work out... evil on their couches; In the morning light they accomplish it when it lies within their power.
    They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and they take them; They cheat an owner of his house, a man of his inheritance.
    Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am planning against this race an evil from which you shall not withdraw your necks; Nor shall you walk with head high, for it will be a time of evil.
    On that day a satire shall be sung over you, and there shall be a plaintive chant: "Our ruin is complete, our fields are portioned out among our captors, The fields of my people are measured out, and no one can get them back!"
    Thus you shall have no one to mark out boundaries by lot in the assembly of the LORD.

    Psalms 9(9B),1-2.3-4.7-8.14.

    Why, O LORD, do you stand aloof?
    Why... hide in times of distress?
    Proudly the wicked harass the afflicted,
    who are caught in the devices the wicked have contrived.

    For the wicked man glories in his greed,
    and the covetous blasphemes, sets the LORD at nought.
    The wicked man boasts, "He will not avenge it";
    "There is no God," sums up his thoughts.

    His mouth is full of cursing, guile and deceit;
    under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.  
    He lurks in ambush near the villages;
    in hiding he murders the innocent;
    his eyes spy upon the unfortunate.

    You do see, for you behold misery and sorrow,
    taking them in your hands.
    On you the unfortunate man depends;
    of the fatherless you are the helper.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 12,14-21.

    The Pharisees went out and took counsel against... Jesus to put him to death.
    When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many (people) followed him, and he cured them all,
    but he warned them not to make him known.
    This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
    "Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I delight; I shall place my spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.
    He will not contend or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.
    A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory.
    And in his name the Gentiles will hope."
