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.

    Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    1st book of Kings 19,9a.11-13a.

    At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came... to a cave, where he took shelter.
    "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD--but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake--but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
    After the earthquake there was fire--but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound.
    When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

    Psalms 85(84),9ab-10.11-12.13-14.

    I will hear what God proclaims;
    the... LORD –for he proclaims peace to his people.
    Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
    glory dwelling in our land.

    Kindness and truth shall meet;
    justice and peace shall kiss.
    Truth shall spring out of the earth,
    and justice shall look down from heaven.

    The LORD himself will give his benefits;
    our land shall yield its increase.
    Justice shall walk before him,
    and salvation, along the way of his steps.

    Letter to the Romans 9,1-5.

    Brothers and Sisters: I speak the truth in... Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins with the holy Spirit in bearing me witness
    that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart.
    For I could wish that I myself were accursed and separated from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kin according to the flesh.
    They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;
    theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Messiah. God who is over all be blessed forever. Amen.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 14,22-33.

    After he had fed the people, Jesus made the... disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side of the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
    After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone.
    Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it.
    During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking on the sea.
    When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said, and they cried out in fear.
    At once (Jesus) spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."
    Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."
    He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.
    But when he saw how (strong) the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"
    Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
    After they got into the boat, the wind died down.
    Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God."
