Navrongo-Bolgatanga Catholic Diocese commissions New Church building

03-01-14      

The Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese of the Catholic Church has commissioned a new Church building at Yorogo-Gaabisi, near Bolgatanga valued at about GHc 30,000.  The new Church, known as the Yorogo-Gaabisi Christ the King is a 200 capacity outstation structure and would serve about five clusters of communities in the area. The community members apart from volunteering the land for the project also provided labour and some cash through proceeds from annual harvests.  The Cathedral Administrator of the Parish, Reverend James Tachua, entreated the community members to have firm belief in Jesus Christ and to propagate his mission and messages to the World.  He entreated them to live at peace with one another and support the poor and marginalize in society, just as Jesus Christ demonstrated during His teachings on earth.  Reverend Tachua impressed on the congregation to forgive one another as children of God to maintain the peace and security in the community. He further entreated members of the Church to use their God given talents and resources to help develop the Church and thanked all societies in the church that were already doing so for their valuable support.  The community members also used the occasion to thank God and the Church for the project and noted that it would help in the transformation of lives.
