Infrastructures of the Latin Patriarchate

The Latin Parish in Sweifieh was established in 1983 by the late Mr. Adel Qabeen. It is considered a new Parish compared to other Jordanian parishes. Today, there are different activities in this parish, like Legion of Mary and Scout groups for different ages. Masses are held weekly in four different languages: Arabic, English, Spanish and French because of the large foreign population in the city.
