The Congregation of the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus (HHCJ), Ghana Province has organized a strategic planning workshop at the HHCJ Novitiate at Nsoatre in the Bono Region of Ghana.
The March 4, 2025 meeting was attended by the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus sisters in Ghana Province. About 80 Sisters out of over 100 Sisters in the Province from 21 communities in Ghana, attended the programme.
The workshop was aimed to enlighten sisters in the province on how to plan for the future of the Congregation especially Ghana Province, to learn how to write good projects, and to help sisters make use of the various opportunities available through which they can get support for some of their projects.
It was also to help the sisters come up with a plan on what they intend to do or to implement in the next 5 years
Prior to the meeting, a Holy Mass was held and presided over by Rev. Fr. Boniface Ameyaw, Parish Priest of St. Paul Catholic Church, Nsoatre, who in a homily, asked: “What do we as Priests and Religious gain in eternity after we have left everything to follow Christ?”
He encouraged the HHCJ Sisters that their reward for leaving everything to serve the Lord would be very great.
“We may not have money in our pocket, we may not have all that we desire now but there’s a reward, there’s a recognition for our work,” Fr. Ameyaw stated.
He reminded them that as Religious, they were respected and honoured by many and that already was a reward in itself.
Participating in the Mass was the Superior General of the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus, Mother Germain Ocansey, HHCJ, and her General Councilor, Sr. Patricia Onah HHCJ who came for Canonical visitation in the province.
