CONVENTUAL FRANCISCANS IN GHANA

In 1977 two groups of three Franciscan Friars arrived in Ghana to plant the Spirit of St. Francis in the Church here. The Friars began their Franciscan life at Cape Coast and Takoradi simultaneously. Their arrival in Ghana gave the first exposure to many Ghanaian to get an insight into what they have read about St. Francis and St. Anthony of Padua. After a couple of years, some Ghanaian young men experimented their call to the Franciscan life.
