Sunyani, July 30, 2026 — The Kwasibourkrom (KBK) Deanery of the Catholic Diocese of Sunyani carried out a pastoral visitation to the Sunyani Central Prison on Thursday, continuing the Diocese’s annual prison ministry apostolate in which each deanery takes its turn ministering to inmates through prayer, pastoral accompaniment, and charitable works.

The delegation was led by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Amoah, Parish Priest of St. Peter’s Parish, Adamsu, who was joined by priests, parish leaders, and lay faithful drawn from and across the Deanery.

Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Bediako, a priest of the Diocese who serves as Catholic Chaplain of the Sunyani Central Prison, was also present, having long played a key role in accompanying inmates on their faith journey.

As an expression of Christian charity, the Deanery donated a variety of essential items to support the welfare of the inmates, including soap, rice, cooking oil, plantain, maize, gari, beans, clothing, and other necessities.

The items were received on behalf of the Regional Commander of the Sunyani Central Prisons by Superintendent Agyemang Duah, who expressed appreciation for the Deanery’s generosity and the Diocese’s continued commitment to prison ministry.

The visitation stands as a renewed expression of the Catholic Diocese of Sunyani’s commitment to one of the Church’s corporal works of mercy — visiting those in prison — bringing hope, encouragement, and the love of Christ to inmates, while affirming their inherent dignity as children of God.
