Welcome!
Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Jebel Ali, the second parish in Dubai!
We are a Catholic parish in the city of Dubai and we belong to the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia (the Catholic Church in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen).
Our parish brings together many nationalities, cultures and rites and is a great example of the unity of the Catholic Church in its very diversity.
St. Francis of Assisi, our patron was not afraid to follow Jesus Christ radically and was transformed into an icon of reconciliation and peace, and became like His Master, a universal instrument of God's peace.
We hope all who visit our parish may experience the peace and serenity radiated by Jesus and live their calling to be instruments of peace and reconciliation in our world!
The Lord bless and keep you!
Fr. Reinhold Sahner
