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. This welcome project is designed to provide high quality and accessible Catholic higher education for students. Learn how you can be part of this historic project.
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.

ON THE RESUMPTION OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN ORLU DIOCESE
1. In view of the fact that schools closed 2 weeks before the COVID-19 Lockdown, we are hereby directed to use
the 1st 2 weeks after resumption to complete the 2nd Term. That way, our academic exam records will be
apposite, and parents will have a proper sense of closure for the term. Only after the 2nd term exams are
concluded will it be justified to collect 3rd term school fees.
2. Also, the Commission has approved the collection of 1,000 Naira per child per term for COVID-19 expenses
[for the fumigation of premises, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the provision of other COVID-19
protocol materials (infrared thermometers, etc, etc)].
3. Parents are responsible for providing hand sanitizers, face masks and face shields for their wards.
4. Schools with boarding facilities will resume and provide bed and board for their students the preceding Friday
before classes begin (vide: the calendar attached).
The Commission truly appreciates your sense of collegiality and endurance during these difficult times. Please
kindly check your records of payment of the Education Levy and Annual Derivation Funds and remit what is due
to: Orlu Catholic Diocesan Education Registry, Acc. # 6220039492 in Fidelity Bank.
May God bless you!
