SVD Ghana September 2017 1 SEPT 2017 www.svdghana.org e.mail: [email protected] FROM THE PROVINCIAL’S DESK Rooted in Dear Confreres, PEACE the w“ ord, committed to Christmas is still weeks away. Surely, I mean that joyous season filled with sentiments of happiness for the birth of the Father‟s beloved Son, Our his Mission. Redeemer; Jesus the Divine Word made incarnate, the Prince of Peace! M k6. 30-32 Choosing “PEACE” as the theme of her Retreat during our first SVD annual retreat, Rev. Sr. Cecilia Kudexa, SMMC might simply be reminding us, midway through the year 2017 to prepare to welcome the King of Peace, Jesus the Redeemer. It is by Sr Cecilia helped us to explore the diverse aspects/dimensions of listening to the PEACE: peace-building and how to attain Peace, as inspired by Luke 10:5-6. We, as Divine Word Missionaries are supposed to be genuine „bearers‟ of word of God the Divine Word, and this Word, is the Prince of Peace; “are we all conscious of this?” she interrogated. We are thus, to preach this Prince of and living it that peace, this unique Peace of the Redeemer. “However, do we ourselves truly live at peace, and genuinely imbibe peaceful loving atmosphere?” she asked. She applied the well-known adage: “you cannot give what you do we become not have.” So, we must first cultivate this peace, and live by it so that it co- workers of flows to liberate the captive, just like in the imagery of the stream of water the Divine flowing from the Temple in Ezekiel 47:1ff. Sr. Cecilia challenged us seriously to reflect on the kind of peace that flows from within our hearts. What legacy do we leave behind, whenever Word... we depart from one place to the other, as Divine Word Missionaries? Do we bring forth, and leave behind, life-giving water, the spirit of renewal and freshness; or rather we leave behind, chaos, bitterness, disharmony, fear, insecurity and so on. We must cultivate the former, and rid ourselves of the People must be later, Sr. Cecilia humbly advised. able to As Divine Word Missionaries, there are certain moments and events that mark our common vocation and highlight our rededication to our recognize that religious and missionary ideals. We have just witnessed some of these events and moments: The profession of First vows, and Perpetual Vows, the we have Ordination to the Priesthood, admissions to the Novitiate and to the initial experienced in Formation programme by Seminarians and Brother Candidates and, finally, the commencement of a new Provincial administration team for a three-year our own lives term. The designation of new local superiors, new appointments, transfers, and re-assignments, remain key moments for all of us to ponder personally the kingdom on our own vocation, and our efforts to emulate the Divine Word, our Lord and Redeemer, so that we may preach His Good News more in genuine that we proclaim actions and words. to others. Surely, sometimes, it is a real challenge and discomfort to move from one Cons assignment or apostolate to another, to move from one 1community to . 106 another to continue to exemplify our Lord‟s mission. SVD Ghana-Liberia Newsletter September 2017 PAGE 2 Probably, Sr. Cecilia‟s caution to all of us to be alert not to be forcing our own plans into God‟s plan for us, should be adhered to. As religious, we are to rather enhance God‟s plan for us, we are to fit our plans into God‟s plan. When we fail to do so, we may know more discomfort, more absence of the inner peace that enhances our apostolate. Bishop Kumordji, SVD, during the closing Mass of our 75th Diamond Jubilee in 2015, at the Holy Spirit Cathedral, Accra did emphasise this same concern raised by Sr. Cecilia. Maybe both have seen the harm we do to ourselves when we embark on pushing our own plans instead of those of God. Permit me to recall here the beautiful excerpts written in the May 2017 edition of ARNOLDUS NOTA (p.7), by the Leadership team of INM on transfers and new assignments. It is worth reading it again. It is titled: “Oh God! Why this Transfer?” In my opinion, this is a “must-read” for all priests and religious. It provides us reasons and attitudes that would help us maintain our inner peace in the face of the “sure-to-arrive” day of transfer, which may be sooner or later in our lives and ministries. With this, I wish you all, the profound peace of the Lord in your various communities, and most especially, I extend my esteemed respect and honour to those who have to leave to new communities, or take up new responsibilities, away from their usual probably comfortable zones.

  • A History of Divine Word Missionaries in Ghana: 1938-2010
    University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh A HISTORY OF DIVINE WORD MISSIONARIES IN GHANA: 1938-2010 BY JOSEPH KWASI ADDAI (10328424) THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA, LEGON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE AWARD OF M.PHIL RELIGIONS DEGREE JUNE, 2012 University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh DECLARATION This thesis, with the exception of materials quoted from other scholarly works which have been acknowledged fully, is the original production of research work by the researcher under the supervision of Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo and Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom- Batsa at the Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana. Any error in this thesis is fully acknowledged as the fault of the researcher. Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Joseph Kwasi Addai (Student) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Prof. Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo (Supervisor) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom-Batsa (Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The problem of this study was that, although the SVD missionaries have been a major partner in the evangelizing mission of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana since their arrival in 1938, their specific contribution to the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Ghana has not been fully assessed. The objective of this thesis therefore is to appraise the missionary activities of the SVD within Ghanaian Catholic Church, and also assess their relevance in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity as a whole. Using the historical method and approach, chapter two traces the history of the SVD from the time of the arrival of the first two missionaries up to the time the mission was handed over to a diocesan bishop in 1971.

Principal Supervisor’s Signature: ………………………… Date: …………..... Name: ……………………………………………………………………………… Co – Supervisor’s Signature: ………………………… Date: ……………. Name: ……………………………………………………………………………… ii ABSTRACT This study situates the November 18, 1969 Aliens Compliance Order in a historical perspective and, with the employment of the internal-external approach, examines the context in which the expulsion order was enforced. Relying on both primary and secondary sources, the study reveals that various factors combined to make Ghana one of the preferred migrants’ destinations in West Africa, especially from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the 1960s. In the face of the growing immigrant population, the colonial, Nkrumah and NLC administrations all introduced immigration measures to control the influx of immigrants into Ghana. However, the colonial government and Nkrumah administration did not strictly enforce those regulations. The NLC attempted to remedy the situation, but it could not achieve much. When the Busia government was inaugurated, it immediately issued the expulsion order which caused the deportation of many immigrants in a manner never before attempted.

  • A Word from the Provincial
    A WORD FROM THE PROVINCIAL Dear Confreres, We have just finished the old year and find ourselves in a new year. This new year brings new hopes and dreams, or revives hopes and dreams that have faded away perhaps. This is good, from time to time we need to start anew. Our confreres are still sharing their Christmas and New Year joy. The German speaking confreres are having their party as I write these lines. Other groups have had or soon will have their parties and gatherings too. These events can encourage us on to do our best in this New Year. This Friday, as I write, January 15 we celebrate our Founder’s Feast Day. I hope all our communities and parishes will have something special to remember our Founder. Two weeks later we will celebrate the feast day of our first saintly missionary, Joseph Freinademetz. In the south we will also be celebrating Family Feast with our Holy Spirit Sisters at Madonna in Koforidua on the same day. All are invited. By now all of you should have received the resolutions, statements, etc. of the province chapter. We are still waiting to hear from Rome about our Vision and Mission Statements. It would be good for the various districts and houses to go through these documents in their meeting to see how they can be implemented. We were all shocked when we heard the news of Bishop Lucas Abadamloora’s death. It came just as we were about to begin our Christmas celebrations and festivities. We pray that the Good Lord has given him his well deserved reward.

  • Asuogyaman District
    ASUOGYAMAN DISTRICT Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Asuogyaman District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.
