The foundation for the first Church in Abu Dhabi was laid in 1962, on a plo

t of land along the present Corniche, donated by H.H. Sheikh Shakbut, the ruler of Abu Dhabi at that time. Fr. Barnabas Madii undertook the task of constructing the Church and a residence for the priests and on February 19, 1965 the first Church was inaugurated. On 19 March 1981, the foundation for the present Church was laid, following the Ruler’s decision that the Church and its associated schools be moved to a different location. The inauguration of the new complex took place on 25 February 1983, in the presence of Sheikh Shakbut. The parish today has over 100,000 expatriate Catholics from all over the world. Masses are celebrated in several different languages and the Church is generally seen packed to full capacity at most services.

🕊️ THE PASSION OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST 🕊️

Today, we remember the Passion and Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist, the courageous voice who prepared the way for Christ and remained faithful to the truth, even when it came at great personal cost.

John did not seek power, comfort, or recognition. His mission was simple and profound: to point others toward Jesus. With unwavering courage, he stood for God’s truth and remained faithful to his calling until the end.

His life reminds us that following Christ requires courage—to speak the truth with love, to stand firm in our faith, and to remain faithful even when it is difficult.

🕊️ St. John the Baptist, courageous witness of Christ, pray for us!

May we have the courage to proclaim Christ, the humility to decrease so that He may increase, and the faithfulness to follow God’s call wherever it leads.
