HISTORY OF DIOCESE

Towards the end of the 19th Century and early 20 Century, many Ekiti young
men travelled to Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta and came in contact with the Catholic Faith. In 1913, a group of such young men left Usi-Ekiti to invite Rev. Fr. Loius Friess from Ibadan. These pioneering seekers of Christ were Ajidahun, Agbo, Mosofe, Ode and Ogidi. Bishop Terrien of Lagos approved the invitation and Fr Friess, accompanied by these young men, travelled by train to Offa now in Kwara State. They all walked the rest of the journey via Ila- Orangun (Osun State), Otun-Ekiti down to Usi-Ekiti where the mustard seed of the Catholic faith was first planted in Ekitiland on 19 March, 1913, when the first Mass was celebrated by Fr Friess. Fr Friess returned to Lagos via the same route and reported his mission to Bishop Terrien for further action.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE
EKITI DIOCESE
Province: Ibadan Erection: July 30, 1972No sooner this mustard seed was planted in Usi than Ekiti was created as an Administrative Division by the British colonial masters with Captain Alexander Livingstone as the first District Officer. The officer was an old friend of Fr Friess and Fr Paulisen who were sent by the Bishop to evangelize Ekiti. Captain Livingstone met Fr Paulisen at Ilesa. They walked down to Ado-Ekiti in November 1914. They went round Ekiti territory visiting Efon-Alaaye, llawe and other villages and towns in company of the first Catechist in Ekiti, Mr l. O. Odumosu. Fr Friess handed over to Fr Erkins, Osogbo and E k i t i a x e s w i t h O s o g b o a s headquarters. He visited Efon in 1915 where he baptized Matthew Borisade along with others.
In 1916, Fr Wouters arrived Ado-Ekiti as the first resident Priest and stayed in Matthew Akinyede’s father’s house where he celebrated the Sacrifice of the Mass for the first time in Ado. He was joined by Fr George Laugel in January 1917 as his Assistant.
Because of its strategic position as an Administrative Headquarters, Ado-Ekiti has become the Headquarters of the Catholic Church in Ekiti ever since.
Between 1913 and 1929, Missionaries from the French Province of the SMA were in charge of Ekiti. Fr Laugei was the most outstanding among these pioneer Missionaries. Assisted by Catechists who were from outside Ekiti, he planted churches and founded schools around Ekiti. In December 1917, Philip Akinyede was appointed Baba Egbe (lay leader) of the faithful in Ado- Ekiti. Between 1929
and 1943, after World War II, with Nigeria allotted to the British as a Colony, French Nationals were not welcome by the British in Nigeria.
Hence, the Irish Province of the SMA replaced the French Province in Nigeria.
Ekiti was once part of the ancient Bight of Benin covering the area South of the River Niger and the Delta to Lagos, then administered by Bishop O’Rourke, SMA, in 1929 when he succeeded Bishop Terrien, SMA.
Ondo, including Ekiti and llorin areas, became a Vicariate in 1943 under Bishop Thomas Hughes, SMA. In 1948. what is now known as Ondo and Ekiti States (Ondo and Ekiti Dioceses) became a Diocese under the same Bishop Thomas Hughes, SMA. He was succeeded in 1958 by Bishop William Field, SMA. It was with Bishop William Field that Ondo Diocese was divided into two, with Ondo Diocese in the South and Ekiti Diocese in the North in 1972. The Diocese of Ekiti was erected as the Diocese of Ado-Ekiti on 30th July, 1972, and on the request of the pioneer Bishop, the name was changed to the Diocese of Ekiti on 11 December, 1972.
Bishop Michael Patrick Olatunji Fagun then became the first Bishop of this Diocese. He retired on 17 April, 2010, and Bishop Felix Femi Ajakaye who was ordained a Co- adjutor to Bishop Fagun on 12 July, 2008, publicly assumed the office as the Bishop of Ekiti on 1 May. 2010, thus becoming the second Bishop of Ekiti.The society of African Missions (SMA) fathers were assisted in their evangelization apostolate by the St Louis Sisters who arrived in the area in 1948. These Sisters catered for the material and spiritual welfare of the womenfolk.
Ekiti diocese was the first in the South-West Zone of Nigeria, comprising Lagos, Ibadan, and Benin City Ecclesiastical Provinces (the ancient Bight of Benin), to be fully indigenized.
Ekiti Diocese has a total of I09 Diocesan serving Priests. As the substantive Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most Rev Michael Olatunji Fagun founded a Female Religious Congregation of a Diocesan Rite, Sisters of St Michael the Archangel, SSMA, on 6 November, 1986, with its seat in Ekiti Diocese. At the moment, t h e D i o c e s e h a s 3 7 M a j o r Seminarians: 43 full-time Catechists, 54 Voluntary; Catechists; 515 Graduates of the School of Evangelization and several voluntary Catechists and Lay Evangelizers. It has a Technical Workshop, named after St Joseph the Worker.
The Diocese has a Pastoral Centre, named after the late Pontiff, St Pope John Paul II, used for pastoral activities and also open to the public. It has a virile Justice Development and Peace Initiative (JDPI) committed to the social development of the people and in defence of human rights. Ekiti Diocese continues to send out Priest Missionaries to give a helping hand (fidei donum) in the work of
evangelization to other dioceses in Nigeria, while at the same time it enjoys the services of Religious Priests and Sisters from outside Ekiti Diocese. The Diocese celebrated in 2013 the Centenary of the Catholic Faith in Ekitiland (1913 – 2013),
