Call (+234)8037582186St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Iyiabi, Asaba, is a Roman Catholic parish, under the Catholic Diocese of Issele-Uku. It is located within the capital city of Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria, along Asaba Ibusa Road, Asaba. We worship God through daily celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Holy Mass, daily adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, celebration of other sacraments, catechetical instructions and other private adorations.
Our Mission: Our mission is to win souls for Christ through preaching of the Word, divine worship, charity and love. Where love is, God lives there. Our mission is embedded in our greeting, “St. Vincent de Paul, home of charity and love – God lives with us.”
Our Vision: Our vision is to build a modern catholic parish based on the vision of Second Vatican Council document, “Gaudium et spes” (pastoral constitution of the Church is a modern world)
St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church, located in the Iyiabi community of Asaba, Delta State, is one of the established parishes within the Catholic Diocese of Issele-Uku. This parish stands as a testament to the steady growth of Catholic evangelization in the Asaba region, dating back to the late 19th century when Catholic missionaries first set foot in the area.
The broader history of Catholicism in Asaba began around 1888 through the efforts of missionaries such as Father Carlo Zappa, one of the early Spiritan (SMA) priests who pioneered Catholic missions in Nigeria. Asaba quickly became a center of missionary activity, from where the faith spread to surrounding communities.
The Diocese of Issele-Uku, under which the parish falls, was officially created on July 5, 1973. At the time of its formation, it had only eight parishes, but it has since grown significantly. By 2011, the number had risen to over forty parishes, with St. Vincent De Paul, Iyiabi, emerging as one of the parishes established during this period of expansion.
Though the exact date of establishment for St. Vincent’s Parish is not widely documented, it is recognized today as an independent and active parish within the Asaba Region. It is not an outstation, which highlights its importance as a central place of worship and community gathering in Iyiabi.
Named after St. Vincent de Paul, a French priest known for his compassion and service to the poor, the church embraces a mission rooted in charity, service, and spiritual growth. Its activities revolve around worship, the sacraments, catechism, youth development, and outreach to the needy—values that reflect the life and legacy of its patron saint.
Today, St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church continues to grow in both faith and structure, serving as a beacon of hope and a hub of Catholic life in the Iyiabi community. It is one of the many parishes that reflect the ongoing vibrancy and deep-rooted presence of the Catholic faith in Delta State.
Catechism classes hold on Fridays at 4:00pm and on Saturdays after the morning Mass. Please contact the parish office for registration details.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) is available every Saturday after the 6:30am morning Mass. You may also schedule an appointment by contacting the parish office.
The Sacrament of Infant Baptism is celebrated on the last Saturday of every month. Please contact the parish office to begin the registration process and inquire about preparatory classes for parents and godparents.
Our Priests and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion bring the Eucharist to the sick and homebound on the First Friday of every month, after the morning Mass. Please call the parish office to add a loved one to the list.
The marriage preparation course is held at 4:00 pm on Sundays. Intending couples are required to register with the parish office at least three (3) months before their proposed wedding date to begin the process.
