Holy kiss saga: St. Monica’s engages psychologist to counsel students

Management of St. Monica’s College of Education, Mampong in the Ashanti Region has initiated counseling support for female students who have been reportedly kissed by a priest and chaplain of the school.

A video in which the priest was seen kissing some female students during a Sunday mass, went viral on social media, prompting the school’s authorities to step in with some measures, including providing psychological support for the affected students.

Rev Father Obeng Larbi, the school’s chaplain who is an Anglican Church priest and also a lawyer, is currently facing disciplinary actions from the respective institutions.

The action of the priest has since received condemnation from residents of the town and the general public across the country, through social media as well as traditional media.

Meanwhile acting Principal of the College, Venerable Dr. Okyere Korankye is also asking the public to pray for the school.
