St. Gabriel’s Co-operative Credit Union has a rich history that dates back to its establishment in 1968. Founded by Rev. Fr. Joseph Yeboah (of blessed memory), it was the pioneering financial co-operative society in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions, specifically designed for Catholic school teachers. At the time, Fr. Yeboah served as the local manager for Catholic Schools in the Asante Akim District, located in the Ashanti Region.

Initially, the Credit Union operated exclusively for Catholic school teachers, with its operations centered in the school office of Mr. G. K. Yamoah, the headteacher of the R/C Primary School. Over the years, recognizing the growing needs of the community, the common bond was expanded to include members beyond the teaching profession.

In its early years, the Credit Union moved from Mr. Yamoah’s school office to a small office at the R/C Church premises. However, in December 2011, a significant milestone was achieved with the construction and inauguration of a permanent office complex. While not owned by the church, the Credit Union maintains a strong relationship with it. The church generously provided the land for the construction of the new office, and part of the facility is allocated for church activities, including an Adoration room and Conference room.
