Besides the officials of the Curia and representatives of the clergy from the UAE, His Grace Archbishop Eugene Martin Nugent, the Apostolic Nuncio to Kuwait and Monseigneur Kryspin Dubiel, the newly appointed Charge d'affairs of the Nunciature in the UAE will be among those concelebrating at the Mass.
