STMATHEW CATHOLIC CHURCH, TELEVISION
New Jerusalem
Before the year 1965, most Catholics resident in Television village attended either the neighbouring Catholic Parishes at Kakuri and Sabon Tasha to meet their pastoral spiritual needs. However through the untiring efforts of Late Mr. Joseph Sheyin, Mr. Pius Laah, Late Mr. Augustine Achuba and Late Mr. Dominic Yari a move was made to bring the church closer to the people, consequently the young catholic community met for church service a Mr. Pius house; the efforts of these enthusiastic pioneers to establish the catholic faith in Television met with various hurdles, paramount among them were the different disputes that arose as regards the acquisition of land for the erection of a church building.
St. Mathew, Secondary School Television
The school is a day and a co-educational institution. It is a mission owned institution.
It contains Nursery/Primary and Secondary sections. The Primary section began in 1984 but due to inconsistency in the administration, it was re-registered in Jan 2005 with a total of 250 pupils.
The secondary section was introduced by the then parish priest of St. Mathews Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Anthony Ikhenoba in July 2003. He was supported by the proprietor Most Rev. Dr. Peter Y. Jatau, the Emeritus Archbioshop of Kaduna Archdiocese, on 10th July 2003;
