St Mary’s Catholic Church in the Oud Metha district of Dubai will reopen on Monday, operating at 30 per cent capacity.
The announcement was made on the church website more than 10 months after it closed its doors to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Daily in-person services have been scheduled, at 6.30am and 7pm, and the church will remain closed at all other times, parish priest Fr Lennie Connully said.
“We have received permission from [the Community Development Authority] to reopen our church for Holy Mass with some conditions and guidelines,” he said.
We hope more concessions from the authorities will follow when we conduct ourselves well and prove our efficiency in crowd management
