Kisseman/Anumle

Kissehman/Anumle Catholic Community started in 1954 under the leadership of Mr. John Kodo who was then the Assistant Catechist to Mr. John Kwame in Anunmle. In 1953 a quit order was given to non-workers and retired workers of Achimota school to move within three months from the workers quarters. Mr. John Kwame of blessed memory who was still working with Achimota School, decided to move to his own house at Achimota. Mr. John Kodo also relocated to Kissehman and started giving catechism instructions to Catechumen who had already moved to Kissehman with their parents.

Before long it became incumbent upon Mr. John Kodo to give Catechumen from Anunmle Catechism instructions in Kissehman. The first batch of Catechumen who received the Sacrament include Victoria Cofie, Agnes Cofie, Vincentia Tornyigah, Josephine Tornyigah, Anthony Tornyigah and Vincent Tornyigah. The rbove Catechumen received first Communion in Achimota school music room in 1955 by Rev. Fr. Morris Lessage.

In with light the history of Kissehman Catholic Community, mention must be made of Mr. John Kwame of blessed memory and Mr. John Kodo, who used much of their time and energy in seeing to the growth of the Catholic Community in Kissehman.

There were hosts of other people who helped greatly behind the scenes and without whom the Catholic Community in Kissehman would not have come into being. Some of them have already gone into eternity and it is our hope that the good Lord grants them eternal rest.

The Lord has blessed Kissehman Catholic Community with two priests in the persons of Rev. Fr. Mathias K. Amuzu and Rev. Fr. Augustine Sexornu Kodo. We continue to pray for more vocations from the Kissehman Catholic Community.
