In a joyful celebration presided over by Father Khalil Ja'ar,  pastor of the Church of the Virgin in Marka, the graduates' Mass was held on the fourth Sunday of the blessed forty-day Lenten journey.

 

On the morning of Saturday, March 29, the "Mother Wise Service" concluded the eight-week training course, which was organized in collaboration with the Yanaeib Al-Amal initiative in Jordan. The course took place in the monastery hall under the hosting of Father Khalil Ja'ar and the supervision of Sister Cecile Hegazin.

 

The course aimed to empower women and enhance their role in matters of marriage, children, work, and ministry from a biblical perspective.

 

During his sermon, Father Khalil focused on repentance and returning to God—who opens His hands to us despite our sins—encouraging everyone to return to Him and begin anew without fear or hesitation.

 

At the end of the Holy  Mass, the course participants were honored on the morning of Sunday, March 30th during the Mass led by the pastor. Mrs. Salam Qamouh delivered a welcoming address to the audience, and Father Khalil Ja'ar distributed certificates to the participants. Several women also shared their experiences, expressing the benefits they gained from the course.

 

The Mass featured participation from the school choir, the students of the handling and stabilization program, as well as a group of the graduates’ family members. Congratulations to everyone, and here’s many more courses built on the word of the Lord.
