Fersan El-Adra
The Knights of Mary
Registration Form
Our Goal:
From its humble origins over 50 years ago, in a small village in Northern Lebanon, the Fersan has spread, bringing Jesus to children.
The Fersan at Saint Charbel Parish, Ottawa welcomes over 250 children bi-weekly. Children, from kindergarten to the age of 12 gather to learn about the Maronite Catholic faith, its values, the foundations of the Church and the Holy Bible.

What are our children learning?
We meet every second Saturday from Sep to Jun in the Hardini Center. Our meetings start at 3:45 pm until 5:30 pm after which we celebrate the kids mass in our parish from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. The mass is held in 3 languages (French, English and Arabic). The children serve the mass which is animated by Saint Charbel’s youth choir.
Every meeting has 3 major parts to it: the prayer, bible teaching and a fun game/activity inspired by the subject of the meeting.
