History of the Convent

Accueil - History of the Convent

The Mar Doumith Convent was established in 1818 by the Antonine Order, following the request of Maronite Patriarch Youhanna Helu. In 1932, under Mother Isabelle Khoury, it became a training center for the Antonine Sisters and also opened as a school for girls. Our founder, currently on the path to beatification, dedicated herself to educating girls from nearby villages, especially those in need.
