Mission Statement

The MSC is firmly bound by its Catholic mission to realize its spiritual duty by strengthening the bonds between believers in the Virgin Mary on campus, in Lebanon and around the world, and in Eastern Churches.

As part of its ongoing mission, the MSC has set up enduring projects and other annual fixed events and activities such as:
  • Permanent dates for students to observe (Feast of the Annunciation);
  • Public conferences (on a variety of subjects) ;
  • Annual Marian Poetic Circle (group of poets);
  • Private Marian Library (in the DCE building);
  • Interactive symposiums with other religious and lay groups (e.g. Association of the Children of Mary, Queen of Peace).

In addition to the above, the MSC also aspires to expand its work. Among the numerous ideas proposed, the following are worthy of mention:
  • Introducing Marian courses, offering certificates upon successful completion;
  • Initiating Christian-Muslim scholarly works based on Mary as the common denominator;
  • Inviting a religiously mixed groups of students (mostly Christians and Muslims) for meditation and prayer vigils;
  • Producing a television series on the Virgin Mary;
  • Translating all books on Mary that currently exist in the library;
  • Participating at local and international conferences in name of the Center;
  • Collaborating with other Marian universities, faculties, and centers around the world to exchange experiences;
  • Launching an independent website for the MSC;
  • Enriching the Marian Library with more spiritually based Marian books and periodicals.
