Getting here
From the Abakaliki township stadium, follow the road past the Correctional Centre gate. The Chaplaincy is on your right, immediately after it. Any okada rider in the area knows the Custodial Centre — ask for the Catholic Chaplaincy beside it.
A map will appear here once the address is added in the panel.
Questions we are often asked
If yours is not here, please write to us.
I am new to Abakaliki. How do I register?
Come to any Mass and speak to one of the executives afterwards, or send us a message through this website. We will take your details and put you in touch with the group that suits you.
How do I arrange a baptism?
Write to us with the child’s name and your own, and the parish office will arrange the preparation and a date.
Can I have a Mass offered for someone?
Yes. Send the name and the intention, and the office will confirm the date with you.
Can I join the Correctional Centre visits?
The apostolate goes quarterly and welcomes volunteers. Please write first, as visits are arranged with the Service in advance.
