St. Edward Catholic Church, Jukwa
A moment of deep significance and spiritual grace unfolded during the pastoral visit of Most Rev. Charles Gabriel Palmer-Buckle, Metropolitan Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cape Coast, at the palace of Odeefuo Boa Amponsem IV.
Addressing the royal court and gathered guests, the Archbishop shared the purpose of his visit while honoring the enduring legacy of the late Odeefuo Boa Amponsem III, remembered as a committed and influential supporter of the Catholic Church.
In his response, the King reflected warmly on the past, recalling how his uncle played a pivotal role in guiding the royal family into the Catholic faith—an influence that saw many members become actively involved in church life, particularly within the choir. He also expressed appreciation for the Church and pledged his support through the donation of pews.
The visit was marked by a moment of prayer, as the Archbishop invoked God’s blessings upon the King, asking for wisdom, success, and prosperity throughout his reign.
The gathering continued with formal introductions of chiefs, elders, priests, and church leaders, creating an atmosphere of unity and mutual respect. The occasion concluded with heartfelt interactions and memorable moments carefully captured to preserve this historic encounter.
