Nov. 2009 I moved back home, to Lebanon & settled down in the monastery of Our Lady of Louaize (OLL).

This' a historical monastery that was built in 1682, then passed over to the Maronite Marian Order (OMM) in 1707 & has became its headquarter in 1723. The monastery hosted in 1736 the most important synod in Maronite Church; which has mandated free education & restructured the Maronite Church, establishing dioceses & reforming the Maronite liturgy & canon law after the Roman Latin model.
Today 17 religious-priests live in this monastery. 10 of them work in the field of education. 3 in the nearby parishes & others hold managerial tasks in OMM.
I've been assigned in charge of the Postulants @ OLL, for some months I put together a program to revive the postulants house next year. Then early in 2010 i was asked to be in charge of the seminarians of the Marontie Marian Order in Lebanon.

About 7 novices are going to profess their vows this summer 2010 & then move to the seminary in Sehaili, monastery of Saint Therese of Lisieux.
