Rev. Fr. Paul Eliud Esibu and the youth Diocese of Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana
“Let’s join efforts to make a difference in the lives of our youth.”
Fr. Paul Esibu came to Divine Redeemer Parish in Sewickley, PA, in December 2018 while pursuing his studies at Duquesne University. Residing at the St. James campus, he was immediately embraced by our parish family. He faithfully ministered in our hospitals, even throughout COVID, serving as a trusted spiritual leader and friend, and quickly becoming a beloved presence—especially among the youth of our parish.
In the spring of 2021, Fr. Paul graduated from Duquesne University with a Master’s degree in Theology. Shortly thereafter, he received a call from his bishop to return home to Ghana, where his ministry is greatly needed in his diocese and hometown.
Although seeing him go was difficult, we said goodbye with hearts full of HOPE. We heard God’s calling to replicate the blessings we had received by creating opportunities for young people in Fr. Paul’s village at the Takoradi Harbour in New Takoradi, Ghana.
Five years later, we’ve been blessed with an amazing team of professionals, philanthropists, and public relations experts, and our efforts have paid off! We have a plan to build a Youth Center right next to Fr. Paul’s parish in his village!
We are thrilled to report that a Project Development Architect and Manager is in place to design and oversee construction. The drawings are complete, and the budget has been finalized. The project has been broken down into construction phases. There is a team of local professionals in Ghana helping Father Paul coordinate everything, and with a Starlink set up to secure communication, we are ready to break ground!
We are just getting started, and now, more than ever, we need your continued support through prayer and fundraising to build the youth center, which will provide a safe, faith-rooted environment where young people can learn, grow, and develop life and employable skills for a sustainable future.
Please join us in making this possible!
