OUR HISTORY
A Beacon of Faith and Community
The Catholic Church of the Presentation (CCOTP) is a catholic parish located in the Ikeja GRA neighborhood of Lagos State, Nigeria, and was founded as a quasi-parish in 2010 from the aspirations ​of the Clergy and Laity of St. Agnes Catholic Church, ​in the Maryland neighborhood of, Lagos.
The church was elevated to a Parish in 2012 with ​Very Rev. Fr. Ethelbert Ukpabi as the first Parish Priest. Over the years, our parish has grown in numbers and spirit, becoming a beacon of faith and community in our area.
With each passing year, we continue to uphold our mission of worship, service, and community outreach.
