The head of India’s Syro-Malabar Catholic Church completes a pastoral visit to Northern Arabia, and tells the local faithful to maintain “strong connections” with their faith and heritage, while also “contributing positively” to their new environment.Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil, head of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, has completed a pastoral visit to the dioceses of Northern Arabia.
The Syro-Malabar Church is based in the Indian state of Kerala, but has a strong presence worldwide due to the Indian diaspora. The high numbers of migrant workers in Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain – which, together with Saudi Arabia, make up the Catholic Church’s Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia – mean that the Syro-Malabar Church has a strong presence there.
In his meetings with local Syro-Malabar communities – which are almost entirely composed of migrants – the Archbishop stressed both the importance of “maintaining strong connections to one’s faith and heritage” and also the need to “contribute positively” to one’s current community.
