Our Local Ordinary
We are a church that believes in Jesus, a church
that loves God and People.
Welcome to St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Parish, a vibrant faith community in the heart of Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and inspired by the life and legacy of our patron saint, St. Vincent de Paul, we strive to live out our faith through worship, service, and love for one another.
Our Patron Saint: St. Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent de Paul (1581–1660) was a French Catholic priest known for his profound humility, compassion, and dedication to serving the poor and marginalized. He founded the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) and the Daughters of Charity, organizations dedicated to evangelization and charitable works. His life reminds us of the importance of seeing Christ in the poor and vulnerable and responding with love and generosity.
At St. Vincent de Paul Parish, we are inspired by his example to serve our community, care for those in need, and grow in holiness through acts of charity and faith.
