HISTORY OF DIOCESE
The history of evangelization in Umuahia Diocese is synonymous with the
advent of Christianity, especially the Catholic faith in the eastern part of the country. Thus, pioneer activities of missionaries in Owerri included Umuahia. Among the early missionaries who brought the Catholic faith to Umuahia was Rev. Fr. Herbert Whyte, C.S.Sp.
As a result of the progressive growth of the Church in the area, Umuahia was carved out of Owerri and erected a diocese on June 23, 1958, with Most Rev.
Anthony Gogo Nwedo C.S.Sp. as its first Bishop. The visionary efforts of the bishop in collaboration with the missionaries and the faithful further enhanced the growth of the Church in the area, spiritually and pastorally. He was succeeded as the Bishop of the diocese by Most Rev. Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji whose Episcopal ordination took place on July 1, 1990.
Since its inception, two other Dioceses: Okigwe (1981) and Aba (1990) have been excised from it. Its present land mass area of 2,460.40km2 spans six Local Government areas of Umuahia North Umuahia South, Ikwuano, Bende, Ohafia and Arochukwu.
