Whenever I travel, I will still try to attend mass on Sundays. At times, I have difficulties finding a catholic church as not all dioceses like Singapore publishes the various parishes mass schedule and its location.
In Dubai, as it is a Muslim nation, weekends starts on Friday, so I attended mass on a Saturday instead of my usual rountine, on Sunday.
For those planning to attend mass in Dubai, you can visit St Mary’s Catholic Church. The land where St Mary’s Church was located, was donated by the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab of Emirates (UAE) in 1966 to build a church. The project was led by His Excellency Most Rev Bishop Bernard Gremoli, assited by Rev Father Daniel Cerofolini OFM. Cap and Father Michael Cardoz.
The building has a modern architecture. The church interior is simple. It has a capacity for 1700 worshippers.
