Collège des Frères Secondary School marked the beginning of the 2026–2027 academic year with a fraternal and educational gathering for its teaching and administrative staff in Beit Jala.
The day began with the celebration of the Holy Mass, presided over by Fr. Bernard Bougy, Rector of the Seminary in Beit Jala. In his homily, he reflected on the essential role of teachers as role models and on their ability to bring about positive change in the hearts and lives of their students. He also expressed his appreciation for the school’s educational staff and wished them an academic year filled with joy, achievements, and success.

The gathering concluded in a warm and fraternal atmosphere as everyone came together around a table of fellowship at Al-Arisheh Restaurant in Beit Jala, marking the beginning of a new academic year that we hope will be filled with dedication, joy, achievement, and success.
