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.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    2nd book of Kings 4,8-11.14-16a.

    One day Elisha came to Shunem, where there... was a woman of influence, who urged him to dine with her. Afterward, whenever he passed by, he used to stop there to dine.
    So she said to her husband, "I know that he is a holy man of God. Since he visits us often,
    let us arrange a little room on the roof and furnish it for him with a bed, table, chair, and lamp, so that when he comes to us he can stay there."
    Sometime later Elisha arrived and stayed in the room overnight.
    Later Elisha asked, "Can something be done for her?" "Yes!" Gehazi answered. "She has no son, and her husband is getting on in years."
    "Call her," said Elisha. When she had been called, and stood at the door,
    Elisha promised, "This time next year you will be fondling a baby son." "Please, my lord," she protested, "you are a man of God; do not deceive your servant."

    Psalms 89(88),2-3.16-17.18-19.

    The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
    through... all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
    For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
    in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.

    Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
    in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
    At your name they rejoice all the day,
    and through your justice they are exalted.

    For you are the splendor of their strength,
    and by your favor our horn is exalted.
    For to the LORD belongs our shield,
    and to the Holy One of Israel, our King.

    Letter to the Romans 6,3-4.8-11.

    Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that... we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
    We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
    If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
    We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
    As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.
    Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as (being) dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10,37-42.

    Whoever loves father or mother more than me... is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
    and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
    Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
    Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
    Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward.
    And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple--amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward."
