About The
Apostolic Vicariate of Northen Arabia
The Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia was established in 2011, encompassing parts of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. It was created to better serve the growing Catholic population in the region.
The Order of Friars Minor Capuchin is primarily responsible for pastoral care, with assistance from other religious orders and diocesan priests.
The reorganization of the two Vicariates aimed to distribute pastoral care more evenly and efficiently. The Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia, which includes the UAE, Oman, and Yemen, remains centered in Abu Dhabi.
