Franciscan friars reopen two Christian schools in Syria after 60 years

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Franciscan friars from the Custody of the Holy Land have reopened two Christian schools in the Idlib governorate of Syria. The schools, located in the villages of Knaye and Yacoubieh, are returning to operation nearly 60 years after they were closed.

The friars renovated the institutions with help from Church organizations and other support groups. Brother Khukaz Mesrob described the reopening as a miracle for a region where people had felt nearly dead and desperate.
