Sister Arcangela receives recognition for 56 years of service in Syria

Italian Ambassador to Syria Stefano Ravagnan honored Sister Arcangela Orsetti on October 18 for her 56 years of service in Syria. The ceremony took place at Saint-Louis Hospital in Aleppo, where Sister Arcangela continues to care for patients.

Sister Arcangela, a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition, dedicated the honor to the sick and poor she has accompanied throughout her mission. She expressed gratitude to Italy, various organizations, and benefactors whose financial support helped the hospital alleviate suffering during years of war.

Saint-Louis Hospital was founded in 1905 and serves the entire population of Aleppo regardless of religious affiliation. Sister Arcangela stated that she views the recognition as encouragement to continue her work alongside those in need.
