HISTORY OF ST. PETER’S PARISH - GOASO
On Tuesday 20th June 2017, Most Rev. Peter K. Atuahene, Fr. Jonas Opoku Gyamfi, Fr. John Jomat, CMI and some Catholics and non-Catholics went to the site and consecrated the church building and the whole compound with a Mass. This ritual gave way for the church to begin its normal worship. A total number of 74 comprising 39 males and 35 females attended the inaugural Mass. The non-catholics who became members of Catholic Church were Isaac Kankam, Akosua Sandy and Diana Aidoo.

During the Eucharistic celebration, 49 who attended received Holy Communion. As Rome was not built in a day, St. Peter Catholic Church started with one hundred and twelve (112) members after the official inauguration. Fr. Stephen Gyau was appointed as the first Pastor and continues till date.

The following people were elected in 2017 as the Pastoral Council members; Veronica Bemma (president), Thomas Ohene Sefa (vice president), Matilda Boakyewaa (secretary), Thomas Boakye (youth), J.M Baidoo (member), Cecilia Dwomo (member), Rose Walana (member), Lucy Asare Bediako (usher), Vida Faatol    (women leader), William Walana (member), James Sarkodie (catechist), J.K Osei (catechist), James Anane (laity council), Isaac Kankam (project coordinator)
