The Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) joined the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Tsiame, to commemorate its 100th anniversary, a century of faith, service, and community transformation.

Representing the President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu, delivered a goodwill message and extended warm congratulations to the church for its unwavering commitment to spiritual growth and social development.

The President, in his message delivered by the Minister, acknowledged the Catholic Church as a great development partner of government, noting its consistent contributions in education, healthcare, and community empowerment across the country.

Hon. Gunu also highlighted the President’s decision to merge the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, explaining that the move seeks to strengthen collaboration among government, traditional leaders, and faith-based institutions to enhance unity and accelerate local development.

As part of the occasion, Hon. Gunu presented cash donations on behalf of President Mahama, from himself, and on behalf of the Member of Parliament for Keta, Hon. Kwame Gakpe, and the Municipal Chief Executive for Keta, Hon. Wisdom Sade, to support the church’s ongoing development initiatives.

The Minister also announced that Tsiame Secondary School will soon benefit from the provision of a dining hall, boys’ dormitory, and full boarding status as requested, reaffirming government’s commitment to expanding educational infrastructure in the region.

The colourful centenary celebration featured inspiring messages, cultural performances, and heartfelt thanksgiving, marking a century of God’s grace and the community’s enduring faith.
