Nigerian Igbo Catholic Community- Baltimore, MD – Nurturing Faith and Culture, Together

The Nigerian Igbo Catholic Community (NICC) of Baltimore rejoices with Catholics throughout the world in the election of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, the successor of St. Peter and Vicar of Christ. With thanksgiving to God, we pray: “O God, who in your providential design willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom you set over the other Apostles, look with favor, we pray, on Leo XIV, our new pope and grant that he, whom you have made Peter’s successor, may be for your people a visible source and foundation of unity and of communion. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.”

The Nigerian Igbo Catholic Community (NICC) of Baltimore is a dedicated group of Igbo Catholics committed to promoting Igbo culture and Catholic values among Igbo families in the archdiocese of Baltimore and its environs. Officially recognized by the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 2005 as an ethnic community of the Christian faithful, we seek to deepen the faith of our members and encourage active participation in our Catholic practices. The Archdiocese has been supportive in enhancing our mission and fulfilling both our spiritual and cultural needs.

Our mission is to cultivate unity and cooperation among Igbo Catholic families, foster active participation of Igbos in local parishes, and provide a spiritual home for Igbo Nigerian immigrants. We offer monthly Mass and promote cultural connectivity within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Through our combined efforts and steadfast commitment to our mission and faith, we seek to create a lively and welcoming community that embodies the love and teachings of Jesus Christ.
