The Catholic Church arrived Owerri in 1912 through Fr. Feral and Bro.
Joseph. In 1937, the first indigenous priest of Owerri, Msgr. Joseph Nwanegbo of Ubomiri was ordained. In 1948, Owerri became a separate Vicariate from Onitsha and two years after in 1950, she became a diocese with Most Rev. Joseph B. Whelan, CSSp of blessed memory as its first Bishop. With the expulsion of the expatriate missionaries at the end of the civil war by the Nigerian Government, Bishop Whelan appointed Msgr. Ignatius Okoroanyanwu the Vicar General and Administrator of the Diocese to look after the vacant See of Owerri from January till September 1970 when Bishop Mark O. Unegbu was appointed by Pope Paul VI to succeed him. In 1993, Bishop Unegbu retired and Bishop Anthony J. V. Obinna, was appointed by His Holiness Pope John Paul II as his successor. On March 26, 1994, the Pope raised Owerri Diocese to an Archdiocese, making it at the same time the Metropolitan See of the newly created Ecclesiastical Province of Owerri. His Holiness equally appointed Most Rev.
Anthony J. V. Obinna the first Archbishop of Owerri and head of the new Ecclesiastical Province.
