The Catholic Bishop of Ho and Vice President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference, Most Rev. Emmanuel Kofi Fianu, SVD, has called on priests, teachers, and catechists to dedicate Wednesday religious services to teaching children about the history and life of the Catholic Diocese of Ho.
Speaking at the grand finale of the Inter-Deanery Quiz Competition held in his honour as part of activities marking his 10th Episcopal Anniversary, Bishop Fianu emphasized that while doctrinal knowledge is essential, understanding the diocese’s heritage is equally important. “Children must know they are part and parcel of the diocese and not just at the periphery.”
The vibrant competition, organized by the Regional Directorate of the Catholic Education Unit in collaboration with the Central Planning Committee and the ADM Quiz Foundation, showcased the faith and intellect of pupils drawn from three deaneries Ho, Hohoe, and Kpando.
After a keenly contested battle of wits, Ho Deanery emerged champions with 53 points, edging out Hohoe Deanery, which scored 45 points, and Kpando Deanery, which followed closely with 44 points.
Bishop Fianu commended the contestants for their impressive command of Church doctrine and encouraged them to share the insights they gained with peers in their parishes to deepen appreciation of the diocese’s rich history.
Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Komla, Chairman of the Anniversary Planning Committee, announced that the 10th Anniversary celebrations will continue with a Grand Anniversary Durbar on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the same venue. The event will feature the presentation of the Diocesan Report and a special fundraising drive in support of the ongoing Cathedral project at Bankoe.
