Owned by the Catholic Church. A beauty to behold. A place of worship and very well organized. Easily located
This isnt Arenas. This place is the Basilica of the most Holy Trinity. The first and only Basilica in Nigeria. A place of prayer and pilgrimage.
Its a lovely and serene environment. The compound is really big so theres ample space for parking, events etc. When you step into the church, you feel the peace and quiet that comes with being in a holy place. Its a beautiful place of worship and everyone has something good to say about the archbishop. They could do better though in terms of providing air conditioning in the building. I think its about time.
I will love to visit this place someday is really an awesome place to be
Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity is a minor Basilica located in Onitsha, Anambra State. It houses various relics of the church. I feel at home attending mass here.
Like the Basilica in Rome and other ancient magnificent edifices, the sweats of the labourers who crafted them, are not in vain. The artists are celebrated too and thats why Michael Angelo is known world over. Having said that, it is worth a mention, that the Cathedral (ie the Chair on which the Episcopal Bishop sits on the Sanctuary) and the gigantic wooden doors were all carved by Prof. Uchefuna Okeke #FWLA #DDG #MFR #illustrator #ThingsFallApart. Basilica holds interesting historical pieces only observant minds could grasp. More so, in between the altar and the segment the congregation seat, lie the graves of the early missionaries like Shanaham etc and also that of the beloved Arch Bishop Albert Kenechukwu Obiefuna. Their bio data are engraved on the marble enclosure. The remains of Blessed Iwene Tansi is reposed at the right of the sanctuary.
Cool place to meditate
Very cozy and beautiful place to be
Its really the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity as said. Its a huge Catholic Church.
Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity is a wonderful place to be. I love it.
Nice place to be
The basilica is the central place of worship for Catholics in Onitsha arch diocese. It is also historical as it was the place the first missionaries in Onitsha landed. It is by the bank of river Niger and has lots of parking space. The basilica is a serene place of worship and there are priest always available to attend to your spiritual needs. The basilica is beautifully built, around it is a bookshop and the diocesan chancery. When next you visit Onitsha, try to visit this beautiful place of worship.

Old church good for museum ....
One of the best roman catholic church in the South Eastern part of Nigeria.
The environment was wonderful...a very quiet place for worship
The one and only Basilica East of the Niger. The abode of the most high God.Good is here. And He dwells with His cherubim and seraphim.
A place you can find peace in meditation
Serene, clean & orderly.
Is near holy Trinity
This is just the best Cathedral I know. It is very big. It has a well refurbished book center. It has a big chapel and the cathedral is well decorated with the statue of the Saints.It is really a good place to have retreat and a place to pray. You really need to be there.
Catholic church cathedral. Its one of the first in the south eastern part of Nigeria. Enjoyed their mass
This is a historic place where the White Missionary priests landed first as they came out of the River Niger over a Century ago. That is the Headquarters of the Onitsha Ecclesiastical Province. There is located the Archbishop House and Office and the Archdiocesan Secretariat with the Rectory for the priests working there. The Basilica is at the centre of the compound. The school buildings are there too. The Brothers of St Stephen and Immaculate Heart Sisters live there too. The place for selling Religious Vestments and articles are there to. Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking existing.
The serenity that brings heaven close to you while praying
I so much love this catholic church, it have very comfortable chapel for personal devotions, and the time masses are good for people who love morning, mind morning or evening mass. And it have a nice hotel by CWO for visitors to lodge in, and very affordable for low income earners. It call Bethany house.
Love it
Iconic Church of historical significance to the Catholic Church in Nigeria. Here is to be found the relics of Blessed Cyprian Michael Iwene Tansi , the first Nigerian to be beatified.
Conducive for prayer. Edifices call us to pray and meditate on the mystery of the Church. It is the heart of the church in the east of Nigeria.
It is a major tourist site. The major facilities in the complex are, an ancient cathedral, now the only basilica in Nigeria, a specialist hospital, the relics of blessed iwene tension, and tombs of former archbishops, giant golden statues of the twelve apostles adorn the compound, a major bookshop,several schools,convents, with a terraced approach to the banks of the Niger. Beside this complex is the largest market in West Africa.
Beautiful aesthetic buildings
Its a great place to be, you feel the presence of God around, with the statues of the 12 Apostles that stand on both the left and right of the main entrance, it makes you have the feeling like giant Knights are protecting the Church
Its a quaint old church located along the banks of the Niger River. Its also a basilica with one of the best choirs around.
Nice Ambience at the Basilica
Very poor in terms of Spiritual worship. Emphasis was on fund raising. Came for 10.30am mass and stood outside for 2hrs because 8.30 mass was still raising funds. Reminded me what Jesus did in the Bible when He drove out Jews from the temple because they were buying and selling in the temple.
Thats one of the most popular worship centre in Onitsha Anambra state
Great
Nice one
You get the feeling that youre on holy ground. A very peaceful and serene place to worship and meditate.
