A Family Church
Only Possible because of Friends Like You
You are most welcome to Our Lady of Perpetual Light Catholic Chaplaincy at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, in Osun State, South Western part of Nigeria.
The Chaplaincy is a one-Church Parish that caters for the Pastoral needs of over 500 students and 200 others in approximately 90 families. It is indeed a family Church where everyone feels at home and actively participates in the parish life. As would be expected, the Chaplaincy is students-focused since its establishment with the University in 1962.
