Mathew OFM Cap.[3] Present dayUntil recently, the Holy Family Cathedral was the seat of the bishop of the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia. However, with the construction of a Cathedral in Bahrain it has lost the title.[4] In order to satisfy the 140,000 Catholics residing in Kuwait mass is held at the Cathedral throughout the week in multiple languages, including, English, Arabic, Tagalog, Sinhala, Malayalam, Tamil, Kokani, Korean, Spanish, Italian and French. Sunday is a weekday in Kuwait as the Muslim prayer day, Friday, is a weekend. Therefore, Sunday masses of the following week are given in advance on the Friday or Saturday of the previous week.[5] Currently, there are eight priests at the Holy Family Cathedral and a Deacon[3] Catechism classes are also offered at the Cathedral, preparing children and teenagers for their Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation.
