HISTORY OF ELETA PARISH

The parish of Our Lady of Fatima, Eleta in the ancient city of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, Nigeria, used to cover a vast area, extending from the popular Mapo Hill to Kajola area, on the border of Ogun State, a distance of about twenty five miles away.

The parish includes the densely populated part of the old city around Mapo and Bere and the fast expanding part of the city, which extends for miles beyond the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. It also includes hundreds of villages in the rural area.

The first effort to plant the Catholic faith in the area was in 1930 when Fr Galvin, SMA who was based in Ijebu-Ode opened a small outstation in Araromi-Aperin but this did not survive for long.

In 1956, Fr Galvin again came from Ijebu-Ode to build a church in Inu-Odi Okiti, a village where many  families in Eleta originated from.
