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.

    Book of Jeremiah 20,7-9.

    You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be... duped; you were too strong for me, and you triumphed. All the day I am an object of laughter; everyone mocks me.
    Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; The word of the LORD has brought me derision and reproach all the day.
    I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.

    Psalms 63(62),2.3-4.5-6.8-9.

    O God, you are my God whom I seek;
    for... you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
    like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.

    Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary
    to see your power and your glory,
    for your kindness is a greater good than life;
    my lips shall glorify you.

    Thus will I bless you while I live;
    lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name.
    As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied,
    and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you.

    You indeed are my help,
    and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
    My soul clings fast to you;
    your right hand upholds me.

    Letter to the Romans 12,1-2.

    I urge you therefore, brothers and sisters, by... the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.
    Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 16,21-27.

    Jesus began to show his disciples that he... must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.
    Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you."
    He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
    Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
    For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
    What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
    For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct."
