On 27th November 2022, we received the sad news of the demise of Richard Cardinal Kuuia Baawobr, M.Afr. in Rome, Italy. It was a great shock for the Catholic faithful in Ghana, especially that we were all awaiting his return to Ghana for a Thanksgiving Mass after his elevation to Cardinal by Pope Francis. Indeed, God's ways are not our ways and we commit the repose of his soul into the hands of Almighty God.
The Ghana Catholic Bishops' Conference has asked that all dioceses celebrate a Memorial Mass for Cardinal Baawobr before 10th January 2023.
Looking at the calendar of events at the beginning of the New Year 2023, I realize we would need to celebrate this Mass before the close of 2022.
Therefore, after some consultation, I now invite all of us to celebrate or participate massively in Masses to be celebrated in memory of Cardinal Baawobr on Thursday, 29th December 2022.
For all parishes in Ho and its environs, I ask that all Priests, Religious and lay faithful join me at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Ho Bankoe at 6.30 am for this memorial Mass.
All other parishes in the diocese are to organize a Mass on that day (29th December 2022) in memory of Richard Cardinal Kuuia Baawobr, M.Afr.
I ask that this letter be read out in all parishes and outstations throughout the diocese in the coming days. We should also post it on our various social media platforms for wider circulation.
May the Lord grant Richard Cardinal Kuuia Baawobr, M.Afr. eternal rest.
