From Thursday to Saturday, July 24, 25, and 26, 2025, the Primate of the Chaldean Church in Lebanon, Bishop Michel Kassarji, along with the Vicar General Monsignor Raphael Traboulsi and the deacons Dany Sheba, Tony El-Gaddo, and Nabil Riad, devoted themselves to the annual spiritual retreat, which holds a special place during the Jubilee Year of the Chaldean Church in Lebanon.
The spiritual sermons were delivered by Father Fadi Tawk of the Antonine Order, and the retreat took place at Our Lady of Help Monastery in the town of Shmilan (Aley District).
The retreat culminated in a Divine Liturgy, during which prayers were raised for the eparchy, its faithful, priestly and monastic vocations, the Antonine monastic community, and for peace in Lebanon, Iraq, and the suffering Middle East.
Everyone prayed to the Almighty Lord to bestow His graces and blessings upon the Chaldean Church worldwide, its clergy and faithful.
