Six couples brought their marriages to the Altar in a Mass wedding at the St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church at Nii Boiman in the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra.
It was the first in recent times at the St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church which gained a Rectorate status only last year.
It used to be an outstation of the Prince of Peace Catholic Church at Kwashieman.
The Priest-in-Charge, Rev. Fr. Mathias Gyato, who officiated the December 18, 2021 nuptial Mass, admonished other Parishioners to take a cue and take steps to also regularize their marriages before the Alar of God.
He said when he arrived last year he noticed that a good number of the aged parishioners were not coming for Holy Communion.
Upon investigation, he realized that some of the impediments that made it difficult for worshippers to come to the Altar with their Marriages could be addressed and cleared.
He asked the couples, almost all of whom are grandparents, to continue to be faithful to each other and strife even harder in their spiritual growth.
Fr. Gyato said the Church was in the process of working to address certain impediments with other aged parishioners in order to organize more Mass Weddings in the coming years.
He said with the mass wedding, the Church takes care of organising certain aspects which make it less expensive for the couples involved.
The six couples are Theophilus Yaw Mensah and Mary Mensah; Martin Koku Dzontoh and Celestine Ama Attah; Alex Boateng Asante and Regina Ankrah; Joseph Kwami Fleafe and Janet Afi; Mathew Kwame Dziekpor and Rose Ahiaku; WO(rtd) John Bakari and Janet Addy.
