GYENYASE CATHOLIC CHURCH NOW A PARISH

-

The Catholic Archbishop of Kumasi, Most Reverend Gabriel Anokye, has asked Ghanaians to work towards a sustainable peace rather than wait for a particular period like before or during elections before encouraging adherence to peace. Christians must lead the way by practicing virtues to impact positively on the larger society.

 Most Rev. Anokye gave the advice during an encounter with journalists on the fringes of a ceremony at Gyinyase to upgrade the local church to a Parish. 

Most Rev. Gabriel Anokye, performed a tape cutting and unveiling of a plaque to upgrade Our Lady of Apostles Catholic Rectorate at Gyinyase in the Asokwa Municipality to a Parish.

 He also dedicated and opened a new one-storey temple as well as consecrate the Alter of the church for use for Mass by the Parish Priest. 

The foundation Parish Priest, Very Rev.  Father Alex Mensah Agyemang, was also inducted. 

Until now, the 400-member Gyinyase Catholic Church was under the jurisdiction of the Saint Martin de Porres Parish at Atonsu. 

In his inaugural speech, Very Rev. Father Agyemang assured the worshippers at the Parish that, he would work diligently to justify the upgrading of the church to a Parish and also edify them to live righteous lives. He called for the support of all the members to achieve the mission of the church. 

The President of the Parish, Richard Nsiah, noted that with the current state of the church, the leadership is very determined to improve on the fortunes of the church with emphasis on the construction of a basic school, a befitting Mission House as well as creating avenues for church growth.

He said, with the contribution and support of its members and other well-wishers, the church built the new temple at a cost of nearly one million Ghana Cedis.

The Kumasi Metropolitan Archbishop, Most Rev. Gabriel Anokye, entreated Christians to live lives that can positively influence the circular society, especially on peace building, at all times, whether in times of elections or not, since peace is one of the tenets of Christianity.

 Most Rev. Anokye described the temple as a place of peace, comfort and inspiration for anyone in need of divine intervention and should therefore be readily available to all who run to God, regardless of their faith.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
