Est. 1984
The Oldest Parish in Ipaja, Alimosho
St. Ferdinand Catholic Church was canonically received on 28th May 1984 — almost on the very feast day of our patron saint. Founded by the late Rev. Fr. John Hannon SMA, we are the oldest parish in Ipaja and have been a mother church to over ten daughter parishes and station churches across Lagos.
Our outstations include Corpus Christi, Ikola Odunsi and the Church of Nativity, Ajasa Command.
