The JMJ Mission in Ghana began in 1983 with the arrival of Sr. Ignatia Busch, who came to serve as a doctor at Holy Family Hospital, Techiman. Through her missionary zeal and selfless service, the seed of JMJ was planted in the fertile soil of Ghana.
The arrival of Sr. Ignatia opened opportunities for collaboration with local Bishops and Church leaders, especially within the Diocese of Sunyani. In 1987, the General Chapter decided to explore possibilities for a new mission in a developing country where Indian and Indonesian Sisters could begin missionary work. This vision became a reality with the arrival of pioneer Sisters on 25July 1990.
To ensure effective administration and the expansion of the mission, the Ghana Region was officially established on 8 September 2009. Sr. Regina Guvvala was appointed as the first Regional Superior, assisted by Sr. Johanna Roring. Since then, the Region has continued to flourish in mission, community life, and apostolic service.
The Regional House at Asufufu–Nanketewa, Sunyani, in the Bono Region, was blessed and inaugurated on 23 June 2020, coinciding with the birthday of Rev. Dr. Sr. Mary Glowrey, Servant of God.
