Franciscan nuns depart Aleppo after 112 years
The Apostolic Vicar for the Latin community in Syria confirmed that the departure of the Franciscan nuns from Aleppo was an internal organizational decision made five years ago. The aim was to redistribute their efforts to better serve various Syrian regions, and it was not motivated by political reasons. Their presence was reinforced in Hasakah and Damascus, while work in Aleppo continues through another entity. He explained that the decision was part of a plan to reduce the number of monasteries due to aging personnel and a decline in vocations, while maintaining the monasteries in Damascus and Hasakah. He also emphasized that their departure had no relation to the French president’s visit. The closure decision was the result of a 2018 approval by the regional congregation, with the goal of supporting the Church’s presence in areas where it is weak. He acknowledged that their departure represents a loss for the city after more than 112 years of service.
