St. Francis Church, Abrahamic Family House, Abu Dhabi, UAE
St. Francis Church, named after St. Francis of Assisi, a 13th century monk who dedicated himself to a life of poverty, was inaugurated on February 16, 2023. The Church accommodates more than 300 worshippers and, while open to all denominations, is itself formally a Catholic church, administered by the Vatican in Rome. Through modern yet classic design features, the exterior columns emphasise verticality to express the concepts of incarnation (or descent) and resurrection (or ascent).
