A religious shrine
The Blessed Virgin occupies a great place and honor in the hearts of her faithful in all churches. Based on this fact, the monastic community in the shrine seeks to develop cooperative, spiritual and pastoral relationships with all eparchies and congregations operating in Lebanon, as well as parishes. The shrine documents these relationships with all the fraternal local churches, and with the various Christian groups. The curators of the shrine are keen that the apostolic movements in the church find a welcome place for them in the shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon, which hosts their activities and helps them to achieve their goals and promotes volunteer work, as a religious value, among their children. Through this endeavor, the shrine aims to deepen the spiritual life of believers and the salvation of souls.
Marian shrine
The missionary fathers who administer the shrine strive to provide correct Marian concepts, belief and practice, by adopting Marian theology. In this context, the missionaries focus on the principle of setting off with Mary towards Jesus, focusing on her veneration and worshiping God, and explaining sound ecclesiastical concepts about miracles, appearances, omens, and other pious practices.
