Welcome to Sohar Parish!

I invite you to review our website and become active member of the parish community. You are most welcome to offer your many talents in service to this parish.
May the Lord Jesus Christ, be amongst you, to defend you; within you, to preserve you; before you, to guide you; after you, to guard you; above you, to bless you; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns for ever.
