On December 13, 2024, Father Jihad Shweihat, Patriarchal Vicar in Jordan, presided over a Mass at the Good Shepherd Church – Our Lady of Peace to launch the Catholic Scouts and Guides of Jordan’s 2025 mission. The event introduced the new motto, "Make Firm My Steps in Your Word," and witnessed wide participation from scouting groups across the country.
In his address, Father Firas Arida, spiritual Chaplain, explained that the motto reflects their mission to follow Christ, serve others, and live out His Word through action: "With the help of the Chaplains in our parishes and scouting groups, we desire to first seek Christ, to dwell with Him, open our hearts to Him, and share Him with others through our testimony and service. We hear His Word, keep it, and act upon it".
Father Jihad Shweihat emphasized the scouts’ vital role in supporting parish work, especially during the Christmas season. He also highlighted their upcoming involvement in the annual Baptism Site celebration, marking a special year with the Christian pilgrimage jubilee and the new Baptism Church’s inauguration.
