Ndifre-k J. ★★★★★ : One of the biggest churches in the street and it's actually a landmark for everyone.
George E. ★★★★★ : I'm catholic, this is the church I was baptized in several years ago. The church has grown and had it renovated some 2-3yrs ago, definitely gave the church a facelift. If you're catholic and new in town, looking for a place to worship, you can visit there. We have two masses held in the church (7:30 am and 9:30 am), although it depends. Activities in church can determine this. Great church! 👍👍

Eze S. ★★★★★ : A place of worship for Catholic members. I love the fact they carry members along during the mass using a projector displaying stages of the mass. Especially for the song lyrics displayed, so as not to leave anyone behind. Rather together, we sing glory to God almighty and praise him. Furthermore, the scripture readings are also displayed when being read to the congregation. Overall, I loved my experience here. They are very much upto date
bryan L. ★★★★★ : The priest is so great, coherent in speech and a good preacher

PATRICK U. ★★★★★ : There is a magnificent transformation of the physical structure of this Cathedral in the heart of the city of Uyo. The priests and the people are very warm and welcoming. Masses are celebrated in both English and the language of the people - Ibibio/Efik. The choirs render sublime harmonic songs that make the Mass nothing but a celestial experience. I recommend this Church to anyone visiting Uyo.

How many Catholic churches are listed in Uyo?

There are 20 Catholic churches listed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The list includes parishes, a cathedral, and a pastoral centre, all ranked by their Google ratings and review counts.

Why does Christ the King Cathedral rank second despite having the most reviews?

Are the ratings reliable for these churches?

The ratings are based on Google reviews, but none of the top five churches have more than 60 reviews, so the scores are not deeply established. A 4.7 from 43 reviews is a reasonable signal, but it is not a guarantee of quality.
