A year after Pope Francis re-emphasised the need for 'the new evangelisation', the Church in Ghana has taken what can be described as a gaint step to start a radio station online.
Operating from the Accra Metropolitan See , Radio Angelus broadcast live online on www.radioangelus.accracatholic.org, and is managed by a team of young Catholic volunteers.
The station can be accessed by typing www.radioangelus.accracatholic.org in a browser. Once the page is loaded, look out for the Radio Angelus logo to your left and tap on the logo to play.
The station officially began operating on 1st March 2018 at 6pm and have programmes targeting both the spiritual and social growth of it's audience. Radio Angelus was given birth to through the passion of a priest of the Archdiocese of Accra, to reach out to many souls through the internet.
The stem of the station was tested late last year and early this year with a live coverage of the 125th anniversary carnival and the commemorative first Mass of the Archdiocese of Accra.
After this was successfully done with a positive feedback from listeners, the team decided to launch a 24 hour online radio with the name "Radio Angelus" inspired by the annunciation of the good news. Thus, the birth of Christ.
By that, Radio Angelus is expected to give it's audience a holistic Catholic radio experience with a coverage of all Arch/Dioceses in the country.
Announcing the creation of the pontifical council to carry out the mission of the New Evangelisation in June 2010, Pope Benedict noted that "the process of secularisation has produced a serious crisis of the sense of the Christian faith and role of the Church", and the new pontifical council would "promote a renewed evangelisation" in countries where the Church has long existed "but which are living a progressive secularisation of society and a sort of 'eclipse of the sense of God'."
In line with the above, the Vicar General of the Accra Archdiocese, Very Rev. Fr. Francis Adoboli in an interview with NewsWatch, spoke of his conviction that Radio Angelus will go a long way to promote renewed evangelisation in the Church in Ghana and beyond.
"I want the focus to be on evangelisation, and by that, I mean conversion. That conversion must take place in every individual and not just one person at the top. I will expect us to hob on the need for the individual to be challenged and renew through this means of evangelisation," he said.
The New Evangelisation aims to reach out to alienated Catholics who in many cases have become secularised. By that, the Church is expected to find a more appropriate means of promoting the unchanged word of God in a world that keeps changing. Hence, the birth of Radio Angelus.
