The Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, the Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, CSSp, has told the Parishioners of St. Dominic Catholic Church at Mallam, Accra and Catholics in general that “The Church is no Church if we forget the poor.”
During a pastoral visit to the Church on Sunday, June 9, 2024, he said “the Church is incomplete if we disregard the poor and needy.”
In his homily, Archbishop Kwofie encouraged the Church community to emulate the faith of the church and reflect on the Word of God daily, adding, “We can’t keep the Word in a poly bag and expect it to germinate.”
The Archbishop also congratulated the church for their good works, making the Church look good and better every day despite there had no stationed Priests.
Archbishop Kwofie also administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to one candidate and charged her to be witnesses of Christ.
“Be people ready to stand for the church. Be people ready to speak for the church. Be people, convinced of your faith as Christians,” he admonished.
Confirmation, one of the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church, enables the faithful to be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, strengthening them in their Christian life.
