The Church in Ghana will forever remain grateful to the then Archbishop of Cape Coast, Most Rev. William T. Porter, SMA, and his Auxiliary Bishop, Most Rev. John K. Amissah, Most Rev. Joseph Oliver Bowers, SVD of Accra, Most Rev. Anthony Konings, SMA, of Keta and Most Rev. Andrew Van Den Bronk, SMA, of Kumasi for their invaluable contributions and for their vision, they have left their footprints in the sands of time.

The first group of seminarians to move from Amisano to Pedu Seminary were twenty-seven (27). And this took place on March 12, 1957, a week after the celebration of Ghana’s Independence – March 6, 1957. The beautification of Pedu campus during the first few years developed through conscious efforts of tree-planting and even of nursing and planting of grass. The late Rev. Fr. Francis Eboyi-Anza, one of the pioneers, wrote in 1982 at the time of the Silver Jubilee celebration: “It would surely be a mistaken idea to surmise that only the students were put to manual labour every other day during the tender age of St. Peter’s. Members of staff were equally involved”. The spirit of manual labour has been a long tradition in the life of the Seminary, and this has borne lasting fruits on the campus.
