The JCEP Tertianship, normally based in Bikfaya, Lebanon, began this year in Egypt. Due to the security situation in Lebanon, the programme is adapted both in terms of location and format. Five participants - from Poland, Nigeria and Tanzania - began their "School of the Heart" on 16 September 2024 at the Collège de la Sainte Famille in Cairo, under the direction of Dany Younes SJ. The first face-to-face session will last a month. The second will be the 30-day retreat in February and the concluding one in June. We hope that the latter two will take place in Lebanon as planned, if the situation in that country allows it. In the meantime, the Tertians will have their apostolic experiments and online meetings and workshops in different countries.
