“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.”
Psalm 28:7

The Secondary School Division organized its annual pilgrimage trip to Qannoubine Holy Valley on Thursday, September 17, 2026, welcoming the 3S and IBDP2 students for a memorable day.

The day began with a beautiful hike through Qannoubine Valley, where students enjoyed its breathtaking scenery and peaceful surroundings.  They were accompanied by Secondary School Principal, Spiritual counselors, staff members and teachers throughout the day, making the experience an opportunity to connect, reflect, and enjoy time together beyond the classroom.

Following the hike, the group gathered for Mass at our Lady of Qannoubine Monastery, entrusting the new academic year to God and asking for His guidance and blessings. The day continued with a shared meal, bringing everyone together in a joyful atmosphere.

It was truly a wonderful and enriching trip, combining the beauty of nature with the depth of faith, and history. Through this pilgrimage, students had the opportunity to walk through a place that carries centuries of Christian heritage, reflect on the perseverance of those who came before them, and begin the academic year with a renewed sense of faith and community.
