Donkorkrom Apostolic Vicariate which began as a Prefecture was carved out from the Catholic Diocese of Koforidua in 2007 with Very Rev. Fr. Gabriel Edoe Kumordji, SVD, as its Apostolic Prefect.

The Vicariate is coterminous with the two geopolitical districts of Kwahu Afram Plains North and South.

In 2010, it was elevated to the status of an Apostolic Vicariate with Most Rev. Gabriel Edoe Kumordji, SVD as the first Apostolic Vicar to be ordained for the area. Currently, his Lordship, Most Rev. John Alphonse Asiedu, SVD, is the Apostolic Vicar.

Donkorkrom Apostolic Vicariate has eight Parishes on the mainland and one Island Mission which is also considered as a Parish for the Island Stations. The mainland Parishes include: St. Joseph Freinademetz at Ekye-Amanfrom, St. Cecilia at Forifori, St. Joseph the Worker at Maame Krobo, St. Fidelis at Tease, St. Theresa at Samanhyia, St. Francis Xavier Cathedral at Donkorkrom, St. Anthony at Amankwakrom and St. Mary, Mother of God at Adeemmra.

Adeemmra, for a very long time was the lone Parish in the whole of Afram Plains with only one Priest taking care of all the Stations, until it later gave birth to all the other parishes enlisted above. Read more
