Bahrain: New Cathedral to hold first Arabic mass on Christmas

The first Arabic mass at the Kingdom’s newly-inaugurated Cathedral will be held on Christmas Day. This was confirmed by Father Fayad Charbel of the Sacred Heart Church in Manama.

The state-of-the-art Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia was inaugurated under the patronage of His Majesty the King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa in Awali on December 9. The modernist church with an octagonal dome, several tiers of seating, two chapels and an 800-capacity auditorium has become a focal point for Bahrain’s 80,000 Catholics and an architectural landmark.

Father Charbel said the mass will be held strictly adhering to COVID-19 protocols being implemented by the Health Ministry.
