The first Catholic parish in the world founded under the patronage of Ghanaian martyr and saint Matthew Ayariga will open in Arlington, Texas, in January 2027.

Bishop Michael Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth announced on Aug. 28 the opening of the church.

Ayariga was one of 21 Christian migrant workers in Libya kidnapped and then beheaded by the terrorist group ISIS on a beach near Sirte, Libya, on Feb. 15, 2015.

Originally from Ghana, Ayariga was the only Black African among the 21 men. The others were all Coptic Orthodox Christians from Egypt. When questioned about his faith by his kidnappers, he reportedly replied: “Their God is my God.”

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”
— St. Teresa of Calcutta

A decade of the Rosary, even a single Hail Mary, may seem like just a drop of water. But when hearts around the world unite in prayer, those drops can become a vast ocean of grace.

On Solemnity of the Assumption, we look back with gratitude on the journey of prayer we have shared, seeking the Blessed Virgin Mary’s intercession for WYD Seoul 2027.

Let us continue to unite our hearts in prayer, that WYD Seoul 2027 may unfold according to God’s will and that participants may deeply experience His love and recognize His call!
