The Catholic world is filled with excitement as Pope Leo XIV, the newly appointed leader of the Catholic Church, has a remarkable connection to Nigeria. Before ascending to the papacy, Pope Leo XIV served as a priest at St. John Catholic Church in Mararaba, Nasarawa State. This humble beginning in Nigeria’s Nasarawa State marks a unique and inspiring chapter in his life journey.


Pope Leo XIV’s service at St. John Catholic Church was a formative period, where he built strong relationships with the local community and deepened his spiritual commitment. His time in Mararaba helped shape his pastoral approach, emphasizing comion, unity, and patience.

The Nigeria Catholic Network reports that Pope Leo XIV visited Nigeria multiple times between 2001 and 2016, attending key meetings in Abuja and other locations to the growth of the Augustinian order. These visits strengthened his bond with Nigerian Catholics and highlighted his dedication to the Church’s mission in Africa.

Charly Boy, a well-known Nigerian entertainer and cultural icon, expressed his amazement and pride, saying, “Wow! A man who once served in Nasarawa is now the Pope. That’s a powerful message for all of us.”
Pope Leo XIV’s rise from a priest in Mararaba to the leader of over a billion Catholics worldwide is a story of faith, perseverance, and destiny. His journey continues to inspire millions around the globe.
