The First New Churches Since the Seventh Century


    The church will be built on land
    donated by the emir of Qatar,
    in a residential district of the
    capital, Doha.

Re: New Places of Christian Worship to Arise in Qatar

Land has been set aside for churches for Catholics, Anglicans, Copts, Orthodox and Protestants.

Included among them is a church building for Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, where "Mass is currently celebrated in the Latin, Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara rites, and in various languages, including Arabic, English, Italian, Urdu, Tagalog and Tamil."

Thank you, Emir! And God bless!
