EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1908, we witness a serene moment in the history of the Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo in Beirut, Lebanon. The sisters, dressed in their traditional habits, gather in the courtyard of their monastery, which was established by the Scalabrinian Missionaries. The Italian missionary order, founded by Father Tommaso Scalabrini in 1887, was dedicated to the evangelization and assistance of immigrants and emigrants. The Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo, a branch of the Scalabrinian Missionaries, were specifically established to serve the educational and spiritual needs of Lebanese girls. The monastery in Beirut, nestled amidst lush greenery and stone buildings, served as their home and center of missionary activity. The sisters, with their calm and focused expressions, exude a sense of dedication and commitment to their mission. They hold rosaries in their hands, a symbol of their deep faith and devotion to St. Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of catechumens and orators. The sisters' presence in Beirut was a beacon of hope and spiritual guidance for the Lebanese community during a time of great change and upheaval. The photograph captures the tranquility and resilience of the sisters, who continued to carry out their mission despite the challenges they faced. The monastery, which still stands today, remains a testament to their legacy and the enduring impact of the Scalabrinian Missionaries in Lebanon. This image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the important role that religious institutions and missionary work have played in shaping the cultural and spiritual landscape of Beirut and Lebanon.
