I am an American Jesuit, currently missoned as a third-year regent at Le Collège Notre Dame de Jamhour, where I teach English. I grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a city located between New York and Philadelphia, and graduated from the University of Scranton, a Jesuit school, in 2013, where I first encountered the Jesuits and began discerning my vocation.

رسامة الأب ريمون عماد زكريا الكهنوتيّة
في يوم 23 أغسطس، تحت سماء القوصية بمحافظة أسيوط، وفي حضن كاتدرائيتها قلب يسوع الأقدس، عاش الجميع لحظات من الفرح الروحيّ، حيث أقيمت حفلة الرسامة الكهنوتية للأب ريمون عماد زكريا، ليُكرَس كاهنًا على مذبح الرب، ويبدأ مسيرته الجديدة في قلب رسالته الخدميّة. وقد تم ذلك بوضع يد صاحب النيافة الأنبا مرقس وليم، مطران ايبارشية القوصيّة للأقباط الكاثوليك.
“I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church,” we profess in the Creed. But where is the one true Church to be found? The Orthodox claim that theirs is the one true Church, as do the Roman Catholics. Which is correct? There cannot be two true Churches, so it would seem that, to be a member of the one true Church, one has to choose either to be an Orthodox or a Roman Catholic. I argue that it is not so, however, and I want to make the case that the question, as posed, does not have to be answered, for the one true Church is, in fact, the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church together as one and, while they are divided neither the Orthodox Church nor the Catholic Church is fully the one true Church and that, therefore, until communion is restored between East and West, the one true Church is not visible as she is meant to be. The one true Church is structured according to the Sacred Canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and according to these Canons, the one true Church is based on the pentarchy of the five sees of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, of which Rome is universally recognized to be the first see. It follows, therefore, that in the current situation, neither the monarchy of Rome nor the tetrarchy of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem can be the one true Church on its own. The one true Church is, and can only be, the pentarchy of all five sees in communion.

Entre effondrements et recommencements : six ans de la Pastorale universitaire
L’histoire de la Province du Proche-Orient de la Compagnie de Jésus avec la Pastorale universitaire au Liban est ancienne. Dès 1979, le P. Saleh Nehmé, premier aumônier général, a posé les fondations de cette mission confiée par l’Assemblée des Patriarches et Évêques catholiques au Liban (APECL), mobilisant autour de lui plusieurs congrégations religieuses.
A Journey of Encounter and Gratitude
During my first month in Lebanon, I had the joy of working with the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) and the Arrupe Migrant Service. These experiences allowed me to encounter people from diverse backgrounds—Syrian, South Sudanese, and Filipino communities—whose stories and resilience touched me deeply.
