A historian and member of the Lebanese Maronite Order (OLM), Father Ignatios Al-Khoury was born in the town of Kfarshakhna – District of Zgharta in 1899. Following his early studies in his hometown’s open-air school, he joined the OLM in 1914 and continued his studies in the order’s schools. At the OLM’s behest, he pursued his higher education at the Jesuits’ Université Saint-Joseph in Beirut and was ordained to the priesthood in 1928.
