البطريرك الراعي يقوم في جولة تربوية في مدارس الجبّة

Patriarch Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Raï visited schools in the Jibbé region on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, to support educational institutions that help families remain in their villages and maintain a Christian presence in the mountains. The tour included stops at the Rosary School in Abdine and the Mar Daniel School, run by the Maronite Sisters of the Holy Family.

During the visit to the Rosary School, the Patriarch met with students and staff inside the school church. Mother Hatouni welcomed the Patriarch, expressing the educational community's gratitude for his visit.

The Patriarch described schools as spaces for character building and instilling values rather than just places for academic learning. He used the visit to listen to the difficulties facing mountain schools, including rising operating costs, declining student numbers, and the inability of many families to afford tuition due to difficult economic and social conditions.
