The mission of the Wa-St. Bede Mission Partnership is to sustain along-term relationship of respect and solidarity, by sharing of life and ministry, characterized bymutualityandspirituality.
St. Bede the Venerable Parish is located in La Cañada, California, USA, and the Diocese of Wa is located in Upper West Ghana, West Africa.
On What Kinds of Projects do the Partners Collaborate?
Fall 2008 and some of 2009 were spent developing a mission statement, a vision, and goals for the Partnership.
In Summer 2009, the Partners are discussing ways they can work together to share in and enhance each others' lives. Some ideas have included letter-writing between students and parents, scholarships for girls and underserved students to attend high school, people exchanges, liturgy-sharing, and boreholes for easier access to water.
Underlying any individual project, however, remains the Partnership's fundamental goal to share our lives and friendship with each other.
