DIOCESAN PRIESTS' NATIONAL CONGRESS GRACED BY PRESIDENT AKUFO-ADDO
The National Union of Ghana Catholic Diocesan Priests’ Associations (NUGCDPA) held its 28th National and 16th Biennial Congress with a call to seriously consider the welfare of the Ghana Diocesan Priests. The Congress that brought about 600 delegates from the 20 Dioceses and Archdioceses all over Ghana was held in Koforidua, from 3rd to 6th January, 2023 with President Akufo-Addo as the Special Guest of Honour.
The theme for the congress was: "A synodal Church and the welfare of the Diocesan Priest in a changing world". This National gathering of Catholic Diocesan Priests afforded the Congress Fathers the opportunity to re-evaluate the sense of the Sacramental Brotherhood and to foster a common union, devoid of competition for “A true brother is not a competitor but a gift for the shared ministry”.
