As part of their cultural project on CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) and gene-editing technology, students from Grade 8C had the privilege of welcoming Father Elie Assaad for a thought-provoking dialogue at the intersection of science and faith.

Father Assaad, a diocesan priest holding a doctorate in Moral Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, offered the Church’s spiritual and ethical perspective on modern scientific advancements—bringing wisdom, nuance, and depth to a conversation that went far beyond the textbook.

Through this meaningful exchange, students learned to hold both questions and convictions with care, connecting scientific curiosity with Christian values and discovering that faith and innovation are not opposites — they are conversation partners.
