The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ho, Most Rev. Emmanuel Kofi Fianu, SVD has on Monday, April 12, 2021, ordained six acolytes into the Diaconate Order.

They were Revs. Prosper Toyi Akumeni and Rudolph Kodjo Tsekpo from Immaculate Conception Parish, Kpando; Rev. Daniel Tenu Kwame Yeboah - Sacred Heart Parish, Fodome; Rev. Yohanes Komla Adjei - Our Lady of Lourdes, Kpando-Agbenoxoe; Rev. David Seyram Addo from St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Dzemeni and Rev. Eugene Kodzo Adzaklu C.Ss.R  -  St. Peter's Parish Vakpo, who is a candidate of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (The Redemptorists).

The candidates during the ceremony were urged to commit themselves to the Evangelical Councils of Poverty, Celibacy, and the Promise of Obedience to their Local Ordinary and his successors, after which they were then invested with stole and Dalmatic. By virtue of this ordination into the transitional diaconal ministry, they become members of the clergy and a step towards the sacerdotal ministry.  Their major task characterized by their new status is to serve the people of God in fraternal charity.

Bishop Fianu, in his homily, first of all, thanked the parents for giving out their children to the church to serve the faithful. He encouraged the newly ordained deacons to always avail themselves to learn more about the ministry God has called them to.

Furthermore, he entreated them to prepare adequately through constant reading, meditation and research on the Word of God before preaching to the lay faithful. “You should also be abreast with the new interpretation of the faith of the Church,” he stated.

The Bishop, moreover, admonished the candidates to serve with humility and to always take instructions from their superiors.

The ceremony which took place at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Ho-Bankoe, was witnessed by the candidates' parents, a session of the clergy and religious as well as seminarians from the diocese.

The number of attendants to the ceremony was restricted due to the pandemic and those who were in attendance observed strictly the covid protocols.  

DEPSOCOM-HO, 2021

Bishop Fianu today 11th June 2021 joined the Catholic faithful at St. Cecilia Parish Ho, Dome to mark "Green Ghana Day". This is in consonance with the government's agenda to plant five (5) million trees nationwide. This event took place in the context of the bishop's one-week canonical visit to the parish. He called on the Catholic faithful to plant trees since human survival depends largely on them.

As we join the president and the Bishop to mark this all-important day, let us bear in mind that the day the last tree dies, the day the last man dies as well. Bearing this in mind we are all called upon to take good care of our environment.  

The Catholic Health Facilities in the Catholic Diocese of Ho are currently organizing a health screening exercise for their priests. This exercise is being scheduled from 7th to 9th June on a deanery basis. On Monday 7th June 2021, the health team was in Kpando deanery. On the 8th of June which was yesterday, they were in Ho deanery and today, hopefully, they will be at Hohoe Deanery.  During the various screening exercises, they also had an opportunity to listen to health talk on stress management. This became necessary because some of the priests find it difficult to make the time of their busy schedules to visit the hospital for regular check-ups. 

Most Rev. Emmanuel Kofi Fianu, SVD today, the 28th day of April 2021 announced the appointment of Very Rev. Fr. Walter Agbetoh as his Vicar General. In the letter, he expressed his profound gratitude to Very Rev. Fr. William Horlu for the services he had rendered to the Ho Diocese during his five years tenure of office as the Vicar General of the diocese. 

Very Rev. Fr. Walter before his appointment was the Principal of St Agatha Commercial College and SHS, Hohoe. 

In the appointment letter, the bishop congratulated him and called on all and sundry to give him the needed support to undertake this duty. He is to officially assume this office on 1st May 2021.

We congratulate him and we wish him the very best.
