Welcome to Igbo Catholic Community
BAPTISM OF THE LORD
By virtue of our baptism, our sins are cleansed and we are made adopted children of God, and members of His Church. This rite of initiation introduces us into the new life in Christ filled with grace and raised our fallen status to that which mankind had at creation. Jesus Christ, by His baptism showed the necessity of baptism and wants us to follow in His footstep. Grace upon grace is poured upon us and we are all filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit fills us with all the grace, strength, blessings and gifts we need to live our lives. Do not underrate the workings of the Holy Spirit in our lives and be a witness to the gospel truth so that God the Father might proudly address you as 'My beloved son/daughter, with whom I am well pleased’. Always renew your baptismal promises and live by the vows you made as a baptized Christian.
Happy Sunday!!!

Mission
Our mission is to establish a thriving Catholic ethnic community for the Igbo Diaspora in New York. We seek to build a community that galvanizes and serves as a rallying point, a fountain of hope, and a forum for the worship of Almighty God in Igbo language and in accordance with the Roman Catholic faith. We envision a community that preserves and perpetuates the Igbo culture, language, social values, charity, and our Roman Catholic heritage through evangelization, catechesis, Bible studies, and advancement of Catholic principles and ideals.
