Jean Hopson Bequest

Pilgrims of Ibillin received a very generous bequest from Jean Hopson that provided much needed renovations on the Mar Elias junior high, high school offices, and teacher’s lounge, a sun shelter for kindergarteners, and contributed an extra $20,000 for scholarships for over three dozen children in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gifts like these make a significant difference for Mar Elias students, transforming and preparing them for a more just and peaceful future.

“You know that the Lord and yourself have called me to care for the young generation which is in desperate need of education, caring and love. Through the long years, we have collaborated together to give our best for planting the seed of hope, and the respect of life in the hearts of the next generation.”
