Our Story

Who We Are

The Nigerian Catholic Community Glasgow & Environs (NCCGE) was established in 2009 to provide a spiritual home for Nigerian Catholics living in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. Our community is united by our shared faith, rich cultural heritage and a desire to worship together in the Nigerian Catholic tradition.

We celebrate bi-monthly Mass on the first Sunday of every other month, incorporating Nigerian hymns, prayers and cultural elements into our worship. Our community also gathers weekly for Divine Mercy prayers every Thursday evening via Zoom.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
— Matthew 18:20

Beyond worship, NCCGE fosters fellowship through various groups including the Catholic Women Organisation (CWO), Choir Ministry and Youth Group. Our annual Harvest & Bazaar is the highlight of our community calendar, bringing together members and friends for a celebration of thanksgiving, Nigerian food, fashion and crafts.
