CNEWA works with Lebanon’s many churches to offer the sacraments and to support the country’s poor, including those seeking refuge from the violence in neighboring Syria and nearby Iraq. Our help includes:

• Partnering with the Melkite Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Zahleh to support needy students from Lebanese and Syrian families
• Support to the Good Shepherd Sisters for their clinic in Jdeideh
• Assistance to the Syriac Catholic Patriarchate and the Maronite Society of St. Paul for their programs to care for Iraqi and Syrian refugees
• Help for pastoral programs, including funds for the formation of lay leaders studying at Our Lady of Protection Center, and annual subsidies for the formation of Maronite, Melkite and Syriac Catholic seminarians
