BISHOP AFRIFAH-AGYEKUM DEDICATES GROTTO @ AKOSOMBO
Santa Barbara Catholic Akosombo has celebrated 60 years of its existence on the theme: " Santa Barbara @ 60: A call to Communion; Unity in Creed, Worship and Evangelization”.
As part of the activities to climax the anniversary, Most Rev. Joseph Afrifah-Agyekum, the Bishop of Koforidua Diocese, paid a pastoral visit to the Akosombo Parish to celebrate with them during which he confirmed 39 candidates prepared for the sacrament.
Unique among the activities to mark the 60th Anniversary was the dedication of a new Grotto in honour of Our Lady of Fatima which was dedicated by the Bishop on Monday 13th August, 2022. It would serve as a place of prayer and worship in the spiritual growth of Parishioners and other residents in the Akosombo catchment area.
The prelate encouraged Parishioners to frequent the Grotto for the personal, families, and community spiritual exercise as they seek the face of God through the intercession of the blessed virgin Mary. The bishop was full of praise for those who contributed to build the grotto especially Mrs Feliza Diaz and Santa Barbara parishioners. He thanked the parish priest Very Rev. Fr Eric Evans Akahoho and the Project Committee of the parish for a good job done.
