THE CATHEDRAL OF OUR LADY OF ARABIA
The untimely demise of our beloved Bishop on April 12, 2020, shocked and saddened all of us. In faithful remembrance of our Bishop Camillo, let us continue to work for and pray for the completion of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Arabia, a project that was immensely close to his heart. We will always remember our Bishop for his labour of love. May his soul rest in peace!
the inauguration of the cathedral
The Cathedral of Mary Queen of Arabia was inaugurated on December 9 - significantly, one day after the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception - by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. It was subsequently consecrated on December 10 by Cardinal Louis Tagle, Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelizations of Peoples. The consecration was attended only by a small group of faithful, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
