He added that, all the parishes in the diocese got the opportunity to perform various works of charity in their respective localities. The visit to the Yeji Prison Camp was done on behalf of the Bishop and the entire catholic faithful of the Diocese of Techiman.

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.
