Biennial Congress of Christian Mothers in Ghana’s Accra Archdiocese Ends with Commitment to “promote unity”

“We will encourage members to exercise their civic rights by voting in the upcoming general elections. Members who have therefore volunteered as agents will do so with all fairness,” CMA members say in the statement dated September 8.

“We shall continue to empower members to take up more leadership roles in the church and community at large,” they further say in the statement that CMA President, Mother Eunice Kokui Dumashie, signed. 

The Catholic mothers also say they resolved to “support members with skill development, legal aid, financial, health assistance and other expert advice, to make good the opportunities available to all.”

They note that “more training activities will be organized by the Archdiocese and trickle down to the locals, parishes, and deaneries.”

CMA members also resolved to “encourage more youth to join the association to promote the growth of the church and Christianity at large through our exemplary lifestyles wherever we find ourselves.”

“Members will contribute in their little ways to help the poor and needy in society as a way of expressing our gratitude to God for His manifold blessings and not because the association is rich,” the Christian mothers say in the statement issued at the end of their four-day Congress that was realized under the theme, “The Lord has done great things for me, Holy is His Name (Luke 1:49)”

The Christian mothers express their gratitude to God for the opportunity to serve in His vineyard and further pledge to “uphold the rules of the association, the church, and the communities we live in at large.”

“We thank God for our Association and the privilege to be servants of the Lord in His vineyard and rejoice in the fulfillment our Association offers to all of us,” they say.

The CMA members pray for the “strength and grace” to carry out the resolutions they had adopted and add, “With God's help, we will be able to live out these commitments and continue to grow in faith, unity, and service.”

“May Mary, the Queen  of Families, continue to intercede for us all as we seek to imitate the Holy  Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as Christian Fathers, Mothers, Sons, and  Daughters, Amen,” they implore.
