I Most Rev. John Bonaventure KWOFIE, Catholic Archbishop of Accra, having consulted the Presbyteral Council of this Archdiocese, in accordance with the provisions of Canons 515 §§ 1-3 and 518, and by the testimony of this document do hereby erect St. Thomas More & St. John Fisher Catholic Church, as a territorial Parish in the Archdiocese of Accra.

May the Gospel be made known to the faithful through this new juridic person and the resources provided to it.
