Holy Family Cathedral, Kuwait, Catholic cathedral in Kuwait City, Kuwait
The Holy Family Cathedral features modern architecture with sandstone walls, a broad elevated sanctuary, and a central altar crafted from natural stone.
The cathedral's construction began in 1956 on land donated by the Kuwaiti government, and its consecration ceremony took place on March 16, 1961.
The cathedral serves 140,000 Catholics in Kuwait through masses in multiple languages including Bengali, Hindi, Korean, Arabic, Tamil, and Konkani.
The cathedral provides religious education programs, marriage preparation courses, and catechism classes for children preparing for sacraments like Baptism and Confirmation.
A large fresco behind the altar depicts the Holy Family crossing the desert, while a replica of Our Lady of Arabia statue connects it to Ahmadi's church.
