Parish Ministry

Parish Ministry has been at the centre of missionary activity of the SVD in Ghana since its first gallant missionaries took over the Sacred Heart Parish in Accra in 1938. In no time the SVD opened new stations in the then Accra Vicariate increasing the Catholic numerical strength leading to Accra becoming a Diocese. In effect, all Parishes in the Diocese were being manned by the SVD.
The efficient Parish works of the SVD missionaries prepared the ground for the local clergy to take over the running of many of these Parishes started by the SVD. Today, the Accra Diocese has been divided into three, the Accra Archdiocese, Koforidua Diocese and Afram Plains Vicariate. It is worth noting that the majority of the local clergy of the various dioceses were nurtured in the Parishes ran by SVDs.

   Currently the following are the Parishes being manned by the SVD in Ghana.
