SHORT HISTORY 
Kuntanase parish was carved out of St. Theresa Parish, Asawase in the then diocese of Kumasi in 1984 by Most Rev. Peter Akwasi Sarpong. The first Parish priest was Rev. Fr. Theresa Paul Amoako followed in succession by Rev. Frs. Philip Opoku Nyame, Francis Osei Nyarko, Joseph Mary Offeh, Frederick Asuming, James Owusu, Anthony Baffour Awuah Francis Stephen Ampomah and currently Dominic Boateng Andoh. Parishes and Rectorates that have come out of the parish are: St. Anthony Jachie, St. Clement, Pramso, St. Philomena, Piase, St. Michael, Abuontem and St. Peter, Abono. 

Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth Grotto at Adwafo-Abono was begun and managed as parish project for a long time until it was recently adopted as a diocesan Grotto. The parish has produced a number of Catholic priests and religious.

The parish was given a status as deanery over a decade to serve the pastoral needs of four parishes and five rectorates within its jurisdiction.
