Jamilé Farès Richa, born in Kadrebian on April 20, 1956, been a religious sister with the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary since 1975. I completed my secondary education at the Sacred Hearts Colleges in Kfardebian, Beit Chabab, and Bikfaya. I hold a Bachelors and a Master's degree in Religious Sciences from Saint Joseph University in Beirut, as well as a Master's in Pastoral Theology from the Catholic Institute of Paris. I received a training in spiritual accompaniment at Le Chatelard in Lyon, France, and in communal spiritual discernment in Rome, enabling me to guide groups in making informed decisions. I also followed extensive experience in teaching, class management, pastoral care, and spiritual animation in Sacred Hearts Colleges, including Ain Zhalta, Tripoli, Achrafieh Sioufi, Jbeil, and Kfarhbab, as well as in spiritual animation at the Jesuit-run Jamhour College. In 2006, I began my involvement at Saint Joseph University (USJ) and established a university diploma program in Spiritual Accompaniment, which she coordinated for nine years. I'm a lecturer at the Institute of Higher Religious Studies (ISSR), teaching various courses within the Credo, DUAC, and DUPS programs Since 2007. I'm dedicated to spiritual accompaniment, both for individuals and groups, and supports communities in their spiritual discernment processes. Currently, I serve as the superior of the Sacred Hearts community in Achrafieh Sioufi.
