About Us

Catholic Trends is a non-profit media organization based in Ghana that 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. Catholic Trends is incorporated under the Companies Act of the Republic of Ghana as Trends Media Foundation LGB.

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, Catholic Trends 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 Third week of Lent

Book of Jeremiah 7,23-28.

Thus says the LORD: This is what I commanded... my people: Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper.
But they obeyed not, nor did they pay heed. They walked in the hardness of their evil hearts and turned their backs, not their faces, to me.
From the day that your fathers left the land of Egypt even to this day, I have sent you untiringly all my servants the prophets.
Yet they have not obeyed me nor paid heed; they have stiffened their necks and done worse than their fathers.
When you speak all these words to them, they will not listen to you either; when you call to them, they will not answer you.
Say to them: This is the nation which does not listen to the voice of the LORD, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech.

Psalms 95(94),1-2.6-7.8-9.

Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let... us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.

Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.

Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,14-23.

Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and... when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.
Some of them said, "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons."
Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
But he knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.
And if Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
If I, then, drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own people drive them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his possessions are safe.
But when one stronger than he attacks and overcomes him, he takes away the armor on which he relied and distributes the spoils.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
