The Diocese of Sunyani on Sunday, August 18, 2025, hosted a vibrant celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary at the Mary Queen of Peace Grotto, drawing thousands of Catholic faithful, priests, and religious.
The event, which crowned a four-day spiritual program beginning August 14, was presided over by His Excellency Most Rev. Julien Kaboré, Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana. The solemn Mass was graced by Members of Parliament, Municipal and District Chief Executives, government officials, and traditional leaders, underscoring its significance in both the spiritual and civic life of the region.
Delivering the homily, Archbishop Kaboré reflected deeply on the mystery of Mary’s Assumption and its inseparable link to the Ascension of Jesus Christ. He called on Christians to model their lives on Mary’s holiness, urging the faithful to remain steadfast in the pursuit of eternal glory.
“Like Mary, we are all called to live holy lives, confident in God’s unchanging love and mercy,” he said.
The annual Grotto Mass has grown into a major highlight of the Sunyani Diocese’s liturgical calendar, offering a moment of renewal, reflection, and unity for the Catholic community and beyond.
