About Our Parish

Welcome to Our Home of Faith

Our journey began as an outstation of St. Mary Catholic Church, Ifo. By the grace of God, and for His glory, we have grown into a full parish, blessed to now nurture our own outstations at St. Raphael and St. Elizabeth. We are a home for all, rooted in faith and community.
