Most Rev. Peter Kwaku Atuahene, Bishop of Goaso Diocese recently Confirmed 24 Catholics at the St. Anthony of Padua Cathedral at Goaso.
The Mass was concelebrated by Rev. Msgr. Anthony Boahen Kyereme, Cathedral Administrator, and Rev. Frs. Clement Badu Kyeremeh and Elisha Manu, Assistants to the Administrator.
Bishop Atuahene in a homily urged Christians to draw inspiration from the Holy Spirit to empower them to lead good Christian lives adding that having received the Holy Spirit through the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation; they were expected to bear fruits in their lives.
He used the analogy of the different professions and vocations to buttress the point that the Holy Spirit gifts each and everyone a special gift that enables the person to render service to God and humanity through any chosen career adding that every career/profession is important and needed to complete the body of Christ which is the Church. He urged all to be grateful to God and appreciative to others for whatever services they rendered.
Bishop Atuahene expressed appreciation to the parents, God parents, Catechists and all who assisted in the preparation of the Candidates for the Sacrament and charged the Confirmandi to avail themselves of opportunities to continue to grow in the faith by joining one of the different pious Associations in the Church adding that they must be ready and willing to share the faith with others though their words and deeds.
Rev. Msgr. Anthony Boahen Kyereme on behalf of the PPC and the entire parishioners welcomed the Bishop and thanked him for the visit and for administering the Sacrament of Confirmation on the candidates.
