Welcome to our website

Get ready to discover more about the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity. Located in the city of Onitsha, West Africa, Nigeria. It is the first Catholic Cathedral Basilica east of the Country, where hundreds of faithfuls gather regularly as we worship, learn, love and share God's grace and mercy with one another. We look forward to having you at one of our masses soon.

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY (YEAR B)

Irrespective of the desirability and necessity of efforts, the Archbishop, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke, reminds us that it is really the Lord that grants success and increase in our yields. Therefore, he encourages us to put our trust in God and allow Him to direct all our endeavours for a real progress. He prays the Lord's graces will always abide with you and grant success to the works of your hand. Blessings and true peace to you!
