The Catholic Diocese of Issele-Uku, is a local Church in Nigeria under the Roman Pontiff and also a Catholic organisation that works and prays for the Word of God, alive and active, to transform the world. In serving the Church, the clergy, religious and laity strive for a community founded on truth and justice. As Baptised Christians eager to respond to Christ’s call in the task of proclamation of the word of God, the faithful aims at supporting and looking up to the Bishop and the Priests as teachers, pastors and leaders in the Church. In frantic co-operation and collaboration with the clergy, the people of God in the local Church aim at having a virile, dynamic Church which will permeate the society with the Christian message of truth, love, and justice.
