Bautiful Catholic Chruch of St. Paul in Abu Dhabi, UAE

The United Arab Emirates recognizes the Supremacy of the Catholic Church as First among all Christian churches, both historically and biblically, granting her with utmost rights and privileges and allow its adherents from different countries working as overseas workers, to worship and give glory to the One God we all pray and give our supreme praise. 

In 2007 the Holy See (Vatican State) and the United Arab Emirates signs its "bonds of mutual friendship" sealing a diplomatic ties between the two states.  With the Holy See's efforts, other Christian churches benefited from it with more freedom and tolerance to worship as they please. -CD2000

The St. Paul's Church is a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church which is located in the area of Mussafah in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. Its importance is that it is the second Catholic church to be built in the emirate since 1965 when the St. Joseph Cathedral was built. Its history dates back to November 2011 when the municipality granted land in the industrial area of Mussafah, after a work of 18 months of consultation. That same year the first stone of the temple was laid. It was inaugurated and blessed with the presence of local authorities as the Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and religious (Cardinal Pietro Parolin) in June 2015. -Wikipeda
