SCHOOL HISTORY AND AWARDS
HISTORY:
In the dire need of training and providing qualitative education not just intrinsically for those wanting to become priests in the Catholic Diocese of Warri but giving something worthwhile to the society, the Catholic Diocese of Warri under the stewardship of Most. Rev. Edmund Fitzgibbon Sps, founded this school on the 30 day of October, 1995 to the glory of God and to the honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary with Very Rev Fr. Bernard Olagba as the First Principal along side 74 pioneering students.
With his love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, the bishop placed the school under her watchful care by naming the school Mother of the Redeemer Catholic Secondary School, as well as having the choice of colour for the uniform-sky blue and white, the colours of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This all boys school metamorphose to a mixed school for boys and girls under the episcopate of Most Rev. Dr. John O. Afareha on the 6 of October, 2011 in the spirit of the New Evangelization.
