===Historical Background=== | |||
The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Kuwait extends its jurisdiction over the Melkite Greek Catholic faithful Catholic in Kuwait. It comprises a single parish in Kuwait City, which had 800 baptized Melkite Catholics in 2005. From the second half of the twentieth century was formed in Kuwait a community of Melkite Greek Catholics, mostly Arab workers of the nearby region. The church service was assured, at least initially, by Latin apostolic vicars. It was governed as a Patriarchal Vicariate of Antioch.On 25 March 1972 the Patriarch Maximos V Hakim erected the Patriarchal Exarchate.<ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Kuwait", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melkite_Greek_Catholic_Patriarchal_Exarchate_of_Kuwait, accessed 12 April 2020. </ref> | |||

=== Historical Background === | |||
The Catholic Church in Kuwait is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. There are over 140,000 Catholics in the country - representing about 6% of the population. There are no dioceses in the country, but Kuwait falls under the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia. There was a cathedral in Kuwait City dedicated to the Holy Family. However, this church lost its status as a cathedral after the apostolic vicariate moved its headquarters to Bahrain. The other parishes are St. Thérèse Parish, Salmiya and Our Lady of Arabia Parish, Ahmadi. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Catholic Church in Kuwait", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_Kuwait, accessed 12 April 2020. </ref> | |||
