THE FOYER DE CHARITE, CHRIST THE KING OF PEACE COMMUNITY IN GHANA

Location: The Christ the King of Peace Community of the FOYER DE CHARITE is located near Abehenease, two kilometers off-road from the Township right above the Tsatsadu Waterfall. Ecclesiastically, the Foyer is in the Catholic Diocese of Ho. Traditionally, Abehenease is part of the Alavanyo Paramountcy. Administratively, the Foyer is within the Hohoe Municipality, 15 kilometers away. It is 25 kilometers away from the Municipality of Kpando, thus in the Volta Region of Ghana. The Region shares borders with the Republic of Togo and so makes the Foyer in Ghana the closest in distance from the Foyer of Aledjo, Togo (the first in Africa). From Accra, the national capital, the Foyer is 225 kilometers and it takes approximately four hours of normal drive to get here. The Foyer itself lies “hidden” between two hills: the “Deo Gratias” Hill [or “Akpe Na Mawu” To], to the East, upon which a Cross is planted and the “God Sees” Hill [or “Mawu le Ekpom” To] to the West.
