Franciscan Sisters Depart Aleppo
The Franciscan Sisters Missionaries of Mary have ended their presence in Aleppo after more than 110 years of service in the city, which played an important role in pastoral, social, and educational work since their arrival in 1913. The decision to relocate, announced during a mass in Aleppo, was due to a decline in the number of sisters and not because of security conditions. The staff will be redistributed among different monasteries, along with the opening of a new convent in Hasakah. They played a prominent role in managing educational institutions and providing support to the poor and families, making them an integral part of the local social fabric. The congregation's work will continue through Salizian monks in the monastery. This change marks the end of a long chapter of Catholic presence in the city, even as pastoral and social missions once carried out by the sisters will persist.
