It was a true blessing to have Mrs. Elham with us—our greatest inspiration. She wrote the holy icon of St. Stephanie this past month. May God bless you and your family.

يوم الأربعاء ٢ حزيران ٢٠٢٦، عُقد لقاء مع الأب شربل ناصيف، خادم كاتدرائية القديسة ريتا في جبيل، حول موضوع الأيقونات المقدسة. وفي ختام اللقاء، جرت بركة أيقونات الدورة الثالثة “كتابة أيقونة قديس أو شفيع” في مركز نابيل في جبيل، والتي أشرفت عليها مارتين بطرس.

🕊️ في أجواء من التأمل والصلاة، استضاف معهد نابل لقاءً روحيًا ضمن "كلمة حياة" حول الروح القدس وزمن العنصرة.
محطة غنية بالفكر والإيمان والحوار، نلتمس فيها حضور الروح العامل في الكنيسة وفي حياتنا اليومية.
