New Bishop of Wa

The Holy Father has just nominated Fr Francis Bomansaan MAfr as Bishop of Wa, Ghana Upper West). Fr Francis is at present First Councillor on the General Council in Rome. Born in Wa diocese in 1962, Francis worked in Tanzania as a student, then in Poland (Vocations), UK (St Edward’s College as bursar), Ghana/Nigeria (Provincial). The former Bishop of Wa was Cardinal Richard Baawobr MAfr who tragically and suddenly died weeks after receiving the Cardinal’s hat from Pope Francis. May God bless Fr Francis and give him the strength, the courage and the faith to serve his brothers and sisters in Wa and in Ghana.
