    It's a wonderful location. The main mass is in English language and there are few other language masses also. I think due to pandemic situation the church has announced some new rules. Church will be open 30-45 min before the mass and closed after 30-45 after mass. Below pictures wil give you a clear idea regarding the time that you can go and what times mass starts and also the difference language masses. Remember to keep the social distance, wear mass and pray for the pandemic to go away soon 💟

    My favorite Catholic Church in Dubai that is very huge and gives you peace of mind. A place where you can reflect and see too much Filipinos which makes you feel at home. What I love here is the timeless Simbang Gabi during Christmas. Despite, how crowded this church is, everything is well-organized so everyone can experience the solemnity of the holy mass.

    5 stars are not enough to share my wonderful experience in St. Mary's Catholic Church. I am one of the singers in the Filipino Choir in St. Mary's for more than 3 years, and before the Covid started its my weekly routine to come and sing for God in St. Mary's with my choir mates. This is the best place to pray and talk to Jesus. I missed the activities such as Harana Kay Maria, the Simbang Gabi, especially the weekly sunday service, standing in the loft. The Tagalog Mass held by Father Chito with his Homily. I have now a baby and he is 5 months old now. I hope to come and visit St. Mary's Church again soon. I miss the cheese bun and mini pizza in the cafeteria btw. :)

    The Catholic St. Mary church Dubai proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. What we gain here at church gives us guidance on how to follow God, improve our spirituality, and live better lives. IF YOU NEED LIFE COME HERE FOR RELAXATION.

    We attended Mass every Sunday, and it was always a well-organized and solemn experience. You can listen to the sermon without distraction. The church was impeccably clean, and the volunteers worked tirelessly without showing any signs of tiredness or frustration while maintaining order among the attendees.

    St. Mary's Catholic church in Dubai. Multi culture environment here in UAE where people of different beliefs can freely pray to their own God. This is conveniently placed near Oud Mehta road and had easy metro access which is just couple of mins walk away. Daily and Sunday mass is offered if various different languages like English, malayalam, Tamil, Tagalog etc. Love this place and this can easily accommodate people and huge gatherings especially during special time of Christmas, New Year and Easter prayer.

    Very organised daily masses celebrated.. The feast day mass and procession with rosary was commendable, what with so many parishioners outside braving the intense humidity and heat. It only shows how devoted our parishoners are. Happy Feast everyone!

    A beautiful experience on visiting St. Mary's Catholic Church. All are welcome to pray and visit this simple, warm and peaceful church in Dubai. It is accessible by road and by metro. The homily given by the priests are apt and something to remember. The entire mass is screened and can be viewed from all sides. Enter in early if you want a seat. The choir and the hymns chosen too are so beautiful and all can sing along sweetly.

    Grew up in Dubai, UAE, so this was and still is my go-to place for mass as a practicing Roman Catholic. Pre COVID-19, the Church would organise multiple events and was a very lively place buzzing with activities planned throughout the year. It houses a school for boys and girls, with an in-house basketball, football court and canteen as well. Attached is a photo of the grotto decked up for Christmas 2021.

    A wonderful deeply spiritual place. Holy Mass is moving even if transmitted remotely into the parking lot only.
