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

    Thursday of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time

    Letter to the Ephesians 6,10-20.

    Brothers and sisters: Draw your strength from... the Lord and from his mighty power.
    Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
    For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
    Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
    So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
    and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.
    In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one.
    And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
    With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones
    and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel
    for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.

    Psalms 144(143),1.2.9-10.

    Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
    who... trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war.

    My mercy and my fortress,
    my stronghold, my deliverer,
    my shield, in whom I trust,
    who subdues my people under me.

    O God, I will sing a new song to you;
    with a ten stringed lyre I will chant your praise,
    You who give victory to kings,
    and deliver David, your servant from the evil sword.

    Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13,31-35.

    Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Go... away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you."
    He replied, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
    Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.'
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!
    Behold, your house will be abandoned. (But) I tell you, you will not see me until (the time comes when) you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
