Vision
The vision of the Konongo-Mampong Diocese is a new society where the poor and the marginalized have discovered that within themselves and their environment there are great potentials to make sustainable progress in their living conditions towards self-reliance and holistic development in the light of the Gospel and the Church’s Social Teaching.
Mission
The Catholic Diocese of Konongo-Mampong, in response to the call of Christ and in union with the universal Church, is committed to working with all people, especially the poor, in the attainment of their social, economic and religious needs. It is the mission of the diocese to restore their human dignity to them, to liberate them from abject poverty, diseases, ignorance, superstition, injustice, mental slavery and despair so that they may bear witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ. In response to Christ’s invitation, the diocese takes up the challenge to work towards the promotion of Christian values among all the people. Through the administration of the sacraments, the diocese strives to nurture and strengthen both the physical and the spiritual needs of the people of God entrusted to its care.
History
The diocese of Konongo‑Mampong was created on 3 March 1995 by His Holiness Pope John Paul II. It was carved out of two other dioceses, namely the diocese of Kumasi and the diocese of Sunyani. About 90% of the territory of the new diocese of Konongo- Mampong belonged to the diocese of Kumasi, which was created in 1950, having existed as a Vicariate for 18 years.
