Kranka Parish Visits Frankmay Orphanage Home

The Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Eric Opoku Aning, and the Catholic Faithful of St. Arnold Janssen Parish at Kranka, paid a special visit to the Frankmay Orphanage Home in Techiman. The Parish made this visit to the Orphanage and donated assorted food stuffs, mosquito nets, and clothing to the orphanage. This work of mercy was part of the schedule for the Tenth Anniversary celebration of the Catholic Diocese Techiman. Each parish in the diocese is expected to do similar charitable works as part of the church’s ministry of Charity to the poor, the marginalized and the imprisoned. The Bishop, on behalf of the Diocese of Techiman, will later in the month of May, make presentation to the Yeji Prisons.  

Rev. Fr. Eric Opoku Aning, and a good number of the Parishioners of Kranka, celebrated Holy Mass with the children and caretakers of the orphanage home. Fr. Eric thanked God for the gift of the orphanage home and praised the Proprietors for their good vision and love for the marginalized and orphaned. He prayed for the children and asked God to touch the hearts of many to come to the aid of the orphanage.

BISHOP DOMINIC CELEBRATES MAY DAY AT MOUNT CARMEL
The Most Rev. Dominic Yeboah Nyarko, the Catholic Bishop of Techiman, celebrates May Day with Students and Staff of Mount Carmel Girl’s Senior High School. The May Day Celebration coincided with the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. The Bishop had the opportunity to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation on 45 students of the school.

In his homily, the bishop congratulated the candidates for allowing themselves to be formed and taught for this sacrament. He expressed gratitude to Rev. Fr. Martin Oduro Bilson, the Chaplain of this school and his team of catechists and teachers, who volunteered to catechize and prepare these candidates adequately for the sacrament of confirmation.

The Bishop explained that every first day of May (otherwise known as May Day or Labor Day), has long been dedicated to all working people all over the world. It was Pope Pius XII who instituted the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, on this May Day to provide for all workers, a saintly example to enable us to grasp the meaning and the divine purpose of human labor.

The Department of Human Development (DHD) and the Diocesan Development Office (DDO) and Caritas, of the Catholic Diocese of Techiman, have concluded the deanery level stakeholder engagements towards the formation of Caritas Techiman at the St. Paul’s Cathedral Social Center. The deanery level discussions brought together the Bishop and his Curia, Priests, Pastoral Council Members; Youth Council, Women Council and Laity Council Executives of all the parishes in the diocese, to meet at their respective deanery centers to learn about Caritas and its operations and to share their opinions towards the formation of caritas in the Diocese.
The DHD and Caritas Office of the Diocese have earmarked the whole of 2018 to interact with all stakeholders in the diocese, to educate them on the Church’s ministry of charity, and need for all Catholics to contribute to support the church in responding to human emergencies and ensuring the integral development of every human person.
