Marking the Lenten season, the Union of Religious Congregations in Jordan--in cooperation with the Fountains of Hope Initiative, the Community of St. Charbel, and parish priest Fr. Khalil Ja'ar—held a spiritual retreat and a procession towards Mount Nebo in Madaba, with the participation of the second batch of the Ambassadors of Hope  that is affiliated with the Latin Patriarchate School of Marka.

The procession commenced with Fr. Khalil Ja'ar celebrating a Holy Mass at St. Nebo Church. In his homily, he stressed the importance to have the Ambassadors of Hope seek to spread the message of peace and hope in the entire world, and to seek always to attain love and harmony.

Later, the participants visited to the Memorial Church of Prophet Moses, the Monastery of the Franciscan Fathers, La Storia Museum, and the Museum of Jordanian Heritage.
