On December 1, 2017, Bishop Augustine Ukwuoma led the groundbreaking and the stone laying ceremony of TRINITAS UNIVERSITY of the Catholic Diocese of Orlu at the main campus site, KM 20, Owerri/Onitsha Road, Awo-Omamma, Imo State, Nigeria.

We take the Church's urgent call for the fostering of vocations as a value we treasure highly (Pope Paul VI, Decree on Priestly Training Optatam Totus, n.2). Across the diocese, there are many programs designed for this purpose. We begin with the family and get everyone to think of their unique vocations in the sacraments of service—ordained and religious life, and married life. Be part of this great call to foster vocations in the diocese.
Most weekends of the year, the bishop pays a pastoral visit to parishes and institutions within the Diocese of Orlu. It is an opportunity for the bishop to be with the people, listen to them and offer his pastoral services.
