Ghanaian Catholics Honor Pope Francis with Requiem Mass
Catholics in Ghana gathered on Friday evening at Accra’s Holy Spirit Cathedral to observe a solemn requiem mass in honor of Pope Francis.
The service drew members of the Catholic community, who make up about 10 percent of the population in the majority-Christian West African nation. The mass offered prayers and reflections on the Pope’s leadership and legacy, uniting the faithful in a moment of reverence and remembrance.
George Amponsah Duodu, a member of the Catholic fraternity Knights of St John International said, he was moved by Pope Francis’ constant prayer for peace across the world.
Pope Francis was beloved by many across Africa, as he frequently prayed publicly for peace in ongoing conflicts on the continent. He visited ten African countries, seven more than his predecessor.
