CHILD PROTECTION POLICY AND PASTORAL STRATEGIC PLAN DOCUMENTS LAUNCHED BY BISHOP AFRIFAH-AGYEKUM
On 24th April 2022, Divine Mercy Sunday, Most Rev. Joseph Afrifah-Agyekum, launched two separate important documents on Diocesan Child Protection Policy and a Ten-Year Diocesan Pastoral Strategic Plan which were born out of the splendid hard work of two committees put in place by the Diocesan Bishop three years ago for the purpose of Child protection and roadmap for development and pastoral/evangelisation enhancement respectively in the Diocese. The Prelate of Koforidua also inaugurated two different committees to ensure the implementation of the documents.
First, Child Protection Committee headed by Very Rev. Fr Joseph Aggrey Quainoo, a Canon Lawyer and Chancellor of the Diocese. Second, Diocesan Pastoral Strategic Plan Implementation Team with Rev. Msgr. Francis Twum-Barimah, the Vicar General, as the Chairman. These two Committees were given Episcopal Mandate to ensure that the documents are well implemented within the Diocese of Koforidua.
This ceremony took place at St Dominic Catholic Church, Adweso-Koforidua, during a thanksgiving Mass to climax the Annual Pastoral Leaders’ Seminar of the Catholic Diocese of Koforidua dubbed ‘Mini-Synod’, which begun on 21st April, 2022 at the Diocesan Pastoral and Training Centre in Koforidua.
