From Jbeil to Ebrine

After ten months, the benefactress requested they vacate the premises. The small Congregation, at the suggestion of the Father Founder, moved to a school in the south of Jbeil. This move also was of short duration as the building was not fit for occupancy. So Mother Rosalie searched for another refuge. With the Father Founder’s approval she purchased four rooms in Ebrine which required plastering and extension. She moved into these premises at the end of September 1896, a year after the birth of the Congregation. In January 1898 the number of sisters was eight professed, four novices and three postulants, and the Congregation had two schools, one in Amsheet and another in the Motherhouse at Ebrine.
