Lebanon has been grappling with a severe financial and economic crisis for nearly four years. The entire nation is suffering, and for many, it has become increasingly challenging to access healthcare, afford their children’s education, and maintain a dignified standard of living.

In spite of these difficulties, the churches and religious communities persist in upholding the operation of schools, universities, clinics, and hospitals. They have a genuine commitment to supporting families, enabling children to develop and aspire to a better future for the country. They serve as an essential backbone for the nation.

The Congregation of Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family is actively present throughout Lebanon, managing 25 schools, the Geitaoui Hospital in Beirut, orphanages, and contributing to the local church.

We are introduced to four dedicated nuns who have chosen to serve Christ and the Lebanese people: Sister Dalida, who serves as the director of Notre-Dame Sahel-Alma School in Jounieh; Sister Mathilde, who is the director of the Saint Antoine orphanage in Kfarfou (near Tripoli); Sister Noura, who works at the congregation’s headquarters, serving the community; and Sister Yara, who is the director of the Higher Institute of Religious Sciences at Saint Joseph University in Beirut.

These women, devoted to both prayer and action, represent the new pillars of Lebanon.

Featuring: Sister Dalida, Sister Mathilde, Sister Noura, and Sister Yara of the Congregation of Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family (Lebanon).
