Who we are
The Catholic Organisation for Social & Religious Advancement (COSRA) is a unique vibrant laity organisation within the Catholic Church in Ghana, open to all Catholics who are 18 years and above.
Formally inaugurated in 1970, COSRA was founded at the Holy Spirit Cathedral by Msgr. Jonathan Thomas Aryikai Ankrah to address the holistic needs of the Ghanaian youth—socially, economically, politically, and spiritually.
COSRA exists to UNITE, EMPOWER, and INSPIRE Catholics through community service, faith-based formation, and leadership development.
Our Mission
Our Vision
To transform passive Catholic youth into active and faithful disciples of Christ who serve their church and community with zeal.
A generation of mature, disciplined, and mission-driven Catholic youth advancing both socially and spiritually in service to God and man.
Our Aims and Objectives
* Provide mentorship (accompaniment) to members and the youth in the Church.
* Promote social and religious activities for the development of members.
* Inculcate in members the habit of discipline, self-respect, humility and obedience towards the attainment of human good.
* Stimulate and direct in every way possible members’ ambition along the Christian way of life.
* Support and encourage programmes for the development of members and the youth in the Church.
* Encourage the spirit of voluntary service to the Church, both among members and the Lay Faithful.
With over 4,409 members across 200 parishes and churches in Ghana (and still growing), COSRA is creating a lasting impact on both the Church and society.
