The Adopt-A-Child Program helps many children enrolled in The Latin Patriarchate School, the unisex Government Schools, and St. Ann Kindergarten. The Adopt-A-Child program pays for school fees and supplies so that these children can continue to attend school and can complete their school work. Outside of school, these children and their families are active members of St. George Melkite Catholic Parish in Zababdeh. They attend weekly Divine Liturgy and Eastern Christian Formation (Sunday school). In addition, they attend parish social activities. These “Living Stones” love their church and they are the future of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land.
