The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference has called on all citizens to prioritise peace, unity, and prayer as the nation prepares for its 2024 General Elections.
This message was conveyed through their Jubilee Year Advent Pastoral Letter, which emphasises the importance of collective spiritual efforts and responsible civic engagement during this critical period.
“This year, as we enter into the season of Advent, we are also mindful of the upcoming general elections and the significance of this moment in the life of our country. The elections are an important occasion for all citizens of Ghana to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities.
“As we prepare ourselves for this significant event, we are also celebrating a special year in the Church: The Jubilee Year, a year of grace and renewal, which calls us to reflect on our shared faith and our collective journey.
“We recognize that, as a country, Ghana is going through a time of transition, both politically and socially. The political climate in our nation is dynamic, and we are aware of the anxieties and uncertainties that often accompany times of electioneering.
“In these times, it is easy to lose sight of the hope that sustains us as people of faith. However, as we celebrate Advent, we are reminded that Christ is our ultimate hope, and it is in Him that we find true peace and stability.”
