The Vatican has approved a new liturgical calendar for the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia (AVOSA) while also designating new patrons for the Catholic Church across the Arabian Peninsula.
The decision marks a historic moment for Catholics in the region, acknowledging the deep roots of Christianity in a land often overlooked in the broader history of the Church. This act of recognition unites Catholics across the Peninsula in a shared devotion that transcends the national boundaries of the Gulf.
