CNS BREAKS GROUND FOR STAR OF THE SEA CATHOLIC CHURCH CONSTRUCTION

The Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Rear Admiral Godwin Livinus Bessing, presided over the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of a permanent sanctuary for the Star of the Sea Catholic Church (SSCC), the first Catholic Church in the Ghana Navy, at Biekro Barracks in Tema on Sunday, 7 December 2025.

The event coincided with the Parish’s fifth anniversary thanksgiving service under the theme “For He Has Been Mindful of My Humble State.”

The CNS described the project as a vital continuation of the community’s spiritual journey and a beacon of hope for sailors and families. Additionally, Most Reverend John Kobina Louis, Auxiliary Bishop of Accra, commended the CNS, Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Naval Command Commodore Solomon Asiedu-Larbi and predecessors, including Commodore Steve Darbo, for their steadfast support.

The wife of the CNS, Mrs Gifty Bessing, and Principal Staff Officers from the Naval Headquarters and the Eastern Naval Command were also in attendance.
