Chinwendu E. ★★★★★ : Baptism is every last Saturday of every month. The church undergoing renovations. Suited along Owerri ontisha express way. Precisely in Irete. It has school inside and halls.
Nwazuruoke J. ★★★★★ : Quite straightforward. No diversion from Goodness and Mercy park, Upper Iweka, Onitsha. Location is just along the Onitsha-Owerri Road. The journey is only made a little difficult by unusually high number of military and police checkpoints along that road.

OBI W. ★★★★★ : Well I have attended Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in World Bank Housing Estate, New Owerri, couple of times and I must say, it was a beautiful experience! The church itself is stunning, with a serene atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at peace. The congregation was warm and welcoming, and the priests delivered inspiring homilies. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking out Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Whether you're a devout Catholic or just looking for a spiritual boost, you'll find a warm and welcoming community here. Rating: 5/5 stars!
Tony A. ★★★★★ : Catholic parishes in Nigeria, especially the eastern part of the country, are really trying so much to outpace the other with regards to erecting and beautifying their church buildings. This Parish is one that has really been expanded, modified and beautified, considering when I last worshipped here over a decade ago. Located in the densely populated 'world bank' area of Owerri, the capital of Imo State, the church looks pretty inside than from outside, as the building seem squeezed into the available scarce space in this area. Spacious sanctuary, well aligned pews, conveniently designed upper floor and a well spaced interior. However, I'm not sure about that serenity and awe that colonial parish buildings evoke once you enter it. I attended a wedding here lately.
