ACCRA ARCHDIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE, GREECE 2026
Archbishop John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp., Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, is currently in Greece leading pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Accra on a spiritual journey In the Footsteps of St. Paul. The pilgrimage started from May 11, 2026 and will end on May 19, 2026.
So far, the pilgrimage has taken the group through Thessaloniki, Philippi, Kavala (ancient Neapolis), Berea, and sites deeply connected to Acts 16 and Acts 17.
At Lydia’s Baptistery in Philippi, where Saint Paul encountered Lydia and the women gathered in prayer by the riverside, the pilgrims celebrated Holy Mass and reflected on the beginning of Christianity in Europe.
The group also visited the prison of Paul and Silas, where worship rose even in chains and God brought deliverance in the midst of suffering.
In Acts 17, the pilgrims journeyed through Thessaloniki and Berea, reflecting on Saint Paul’s preaching, the house of Jason, and the response of the Bereans who examined the Scriptures daily with eagerness and discernment.
The pilgrimage continues as a journey of prayer, reflection, renewal, and deeper encounter with the Word of God.
