From the 30^th January to the 3^rd February a meeting was held in Lebanon for recently ordained priests of the Province. On each day talks were given by various speakers touching  topics such as child abuse, the sexual life of the consecrated person as seen by a psychotherapist, and also confession. There were also times for sharing in groups.

On the second day, various practical points were discussed, such as ordination and the preparation for its celebration. A good part of the third day was spent in sharing in small groups. A lay-person, Sandra Chaoul, came to give a talk about formation in Ignatian leadership. Among other things, she spoke about a formation session on communal discernment and apostolic planning. Next another lay-person, Hyam Abou Shedide, a journalist, spoke about the media and the fact that they touch the three fundamental centres of the human person: intellect, heart and instinct. The afternoon was dedicated to an outing and during the Mass the young priests renewed their vows. The participants appreciated the exchanges among themselves and with the animators. The spirit throughout was pleasant and brotherly.
