PARISH HISTORY
St. Pio Catholic Church: A Response to Faith and Growth
The idea of establishing an outstation was first proposed by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Abella in 1999. In pursuit of this, efforts were made to acquire suitable land. After evaluating three different locations, challenges arose regarding parish boundaries involving St. Anthony, Gbaja; Our Lady of Lourdes, Orile; and St. Brigid, Ijesha.
Ultimately, the site at Jimoh Odutola was chosen. However, before the acquisition could be finalized, Rev. Fr. Abella was transferred, and Rev. Fr. Paulinus Aniedu took over as the new Parish Priest.
Our Mission
To create a dynamic worship environment, nuture and grow a community of Jesus Christ , founded and built on love for God and for one another with everyone working s servant leader in the vineyard fo the Lord for the salvation of souls

A Message of Welcome from Fr. Gabriel Odunaiya

St. Pio Doyin has a rich history of faith and service, and I am inspired by the warmth and dedication of this community. This is a place where we come together not only to worship but also to support one another, to serve those in need, and to share in the joys and challenges of life.
I believe that together, we can build upon this strong foundation, deepening our relationship with God and sharing the love of Christ with the world. Let us strive to be a beacon of hope and compassion in our community, welcoming all who seek to know and follow Jesus.
