Ikot Ekpene located in South Eastern part of Nigeria is one of the Dioceses
under the suffragan of the Metropolitan of the Calabar Ecclesiastical Province since 1993. It covers an area of 2,263 square kilometres with population of about 836,353 in habitants (1991 Census) of which about 80% are Christians and about 10% of the population is Catholic.
The earliest date for the foundation of any mission Church in Ikot Ekpene was in 1914 by the missionary fathers at Anua, St Anne Station, Ifuho, which is now the Cathedral parish. It was established in 1918 with Rev. Fathers Paul Biechy, CSSP; and James Moynagh, SPS; as the first resident priests in 1920 and 1930 respectively under Bishop Joseph Shanahan โ the pioneer Holy Ghost Bishop of Southern Nigeria with his headquarters at Onitsha.
Ikot Ekpene has always been associated with Calabar Mission, which was established when Fr. James Moynagh, SPC, was appointed the Prefect Apostolic on July 9, 1934. When the Prefecture was raised to the status of Vicariate Apostolic on June 13, 1947, the Pastoral Care of the entire territory was entrusted to Bishop James Moynagh who became the Bishop of Calabar diocese on April 18, 1950.
With the appointment of Bishop Moynagh, SPC, the Holy Ghost Fathers were replaced by the St. Patrick Fathers who thenceforth have been indeed the Founding Fathers of Evangelization in Calabar, Ogoja, Ikot Ekpene, Port Harcourt and Uyo Dioceses.
