Chukwunwike E. ★★★★★ : This is St Anthony's Catholic Church. It's one of the biggest churches in Awka. It is old, but it's age has nothing to do with it's beauty and how organised it is. It has a big compound, the environment is scene. It's compound being big gives birth to cool praying spots. You could use a meditation 🧘‍♀️ time 😌 as well. It also has a school in it, St Lucy School. A Chapel and the grotto of Our Lady of Perpetual Help are also here. All societies are there too.
Rosemary O. ★★★★★ : Love the serene environment. The masses end 2 hours maximum and no extra delays. You get to enjoy the worship as everyone is well-ordered.

okolo O. ★★★★★ : Very old reviews. The Church is almost completed. It's a very good place of worship with a very beautiful choir. Unfortunately, they just lost their parish priest, Fr Anthony Udogu. May he rest in peace. God console the parish community and the acting parish priest, Fr Tony Igboamalu.
Nwachukwu N. ★★★★★ : The church is being reconstructed at the moment and when it's completed, it sure gonna be a good edifice. A good place to worship. The parish priest is very friendly
