Bishop Aldo Berardi Celebrates Mass to Open Pastoral Visit at St. Thérèse Parish
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus Parish, Salmiya, Kuwait — His Excellency Bishop Aldo Berardi, O.SS.T., Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia, celebrated a Holy Mass to mark the beginning of his Pastoral Visit to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus Parish, Salmiya, Kuwait, on April 24, 2026.
The Mass, celebrated in the presence of the parish faithful, officially opened what is a deeply anticipated week-long pastoral visit running through April 30, 2026. The celebration brought together the parish community in prayer and worship as they received their Bishop — a moment of great spiritual significance for the entire congregation.
In his role as Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia, Bishop Berardi’s pastoral visits serve as a vital link between the faithful of the region and the wider Church. His presence among the parishioners of St. Thérèse is both a source of encouragement and a reminder of the unity that binds the Catholic community across Northern Arabia.
The parish community is invited to participate in the various activities and liturgical celebrations planned throughout the remainder of the visit, as we continue to journey together in faith under the guidance of our shepherd.
