Our convents in Lebanon and abroad are the basic setting of our religious and apostolic life. Some convents have their well-known mission, others are closely related to a specific mission. The latter are separated from the said institutions, yet remain its energizers. Our missions perform substantially educational, medical, social, artistic and pastoral functions. Through these missions, as well as those involving parishes and prisons, we aim at being at a close proximity and a deep solidarity. We attend to the poor and forsaken as our first priority.

      Established in France, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, Cyprus and Jerusalem, our mission has no frontiers; it is at the service of our people abroad and in communion with all other people.

      We went there at the repeated requests of our Maronite ecclesiastical hierarchy. Our institutions abroad form a bridge between Lebanon and the countries they are implanted in; they are oases of hope to maintain ties with the motherland and a steady desire to revisit it. Our institutions aim at openness without losing our identity and the acquisitions of competences which serve society and enrich both parties.

      Faithful to our Maronite Church and to our Lebanese heritage, we go abroad with what we are, welcoming foreign human contribution, within a well-balanced exchange and communication.

      In our ravaged Lebanon, conflicts spare no one and nothing. Facing these increasing needs, our services remain minimal, but always tend to become more efficient, loving and charitable.

            In conclusion, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, we try to be of help to meet the present needs of the Church in Lebanon and abroad.
