The Nigeria society of Ss Thomas-More/John Fisher Catholic Church was formed in December 2011due to the increasing number of Nigerian Nationals in the church. As the number of Nigerians kept increasing the need arose for something to be done to retain them in the Catholic Church. We resolved in one of our social gatherings to come together as a group with the objective of improving the Economic, Social and Spiritual growth of members.

After due consultation with the Church Pastoral Council and Rev. Fr. Benjamin Ohene the then Priest in Charge, our application to function as one of the laity groups in the church was approved.

Mr. Shine Gavin and Auntie Mary Kwame were very helpful at the early stages of the formation of the Nigerian Society. The group was inaugurated by Rev. Fr. George Obeng- Appah on the 1st December, 2011 as the Nigerian Society. The Society's name was later changed to St. Christopher Society since St. Christopher is the patron saint for travelers.
