Maryknoll Media Relations

What is Maryknoll?
Maryknoll, the U.S.-based Catholic mission movement, includes
the Maryknoll Society (priests and brothers), Maryknoll
Congregation (Sisters), the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, and the
Maryknoll Affiliates.

Since 1911, Catholics in the United States have responded to the
worldwide cry of the poor by becoming Maryknoll Missioners. Maryknoll is dedicated to
mission work outside of the United States in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Mexico.
Today, Maryknollers help people overseas build communities of faith. Some work in war
zones with refugees, others minister to the sick, the elderly, orphans or people with
AIDS. Through lives of service, Maryknollers translate the gospel of love into different
languages and in different cultures.
