A letter from Fr. Beyuo:
The Catholic Archdiocese of Tamale, in Ghana, West Africa, desires to construct a Priests Home to serve as a decent residential abode for her Retired Priests
It will also be used as a centre to provide psychological and other counselling services to the teaming youth who are frustrated because the unemployment situation of our country particularly in the Northern Regions. Many of these youth migrate down south in search for non-existent jobs. They often returned disappointed and some of them suffer from traumatic experiences which have resulted in the eroding and lowering of their self-respect and human dignities. They need a lot of on-hands psycho-social and rehabilitative care and assistance to enable them to integrate well into their communities. The Centre will also be used to provide general public education on the negative consequences of migration to serve as a deterrent to would be adventurers. These steps, it is hoped, will contribute immensely to the development of the Region and ultimately contribute to mutual peaceful co-existence amongst the residents of the Archdiocese.
So far, the Archdiocese through its own local initiative has been able to raise the Sub-structure and columns for the ground floor. We still need an amount of $250,000.00 to complete. Our appeal therefore is to help us raise some of this amount to further this priority Archdiocesan Project in nearest future.
The Archdiocese of Tamale is very pleased That your Pastor, Msgr. Charles H Rowland has kindly accepted that an appeal be made to the good people of this Parish to support the Archdiocese in her efforts to build a home for the above outlined purpose. The Archbishop has asked me, Fr Christopher Beyuo to come and do the appeal.
