Newly dedicated St. Peter Cathedral, Owerrinta
History was made, as the Diocese of Isiala Ngwa South built and dedicated a cathedral within a record time of three years, against the age-long belief that the building of the church is never ending. The 13-year-old Isiala Ngwa South Diocese came into existence as a missionary diocese, which should derive its ecclesiastical nourishment from statutorily developed dioceses, began its autonomy like a suckling baby without a mother, yet survived the hurdles of growth and development to its present state.
Upon inauguration in 2007 by Most Rev. Peter Jasper Akinola, the Rt. Rev Isaac Chijioke Nwaobia and his wife, Hope, took the bull by its horn and turned the old and dilapidating St Peters Church, Owerrinta, into a Cathedral to the envy of many.
