Maryknoll Lay Missioners - October 2022 mklm news

Psychologist Titus Ngugi helped patients make signs of AA readings to hang on the walls of the hospital.

On Wednesday mornings, Maryknoll lay missioner Megan Hamilton travels across town to hold an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Mombasa's mental health hospital. The patients she supports there have mental health diagnoses in addition to their substance abuse disorder and addiction history.

“Not having the resources of the shiny First World,” she writes, “there are some One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest vibes.” Megan is a recovering alcoholic/addict herself, and in this challenging environment, she just does what she's done for years — host a meeting. 

A Mission Month reflection from executive director Ted Miles: 

What Aunt Ron — and Pope Francis — taught me about following Christ in mission.

On World Mission Sunday, Oct. 23, Maryknoll Lay Missioners will honor returned missioners and dedicated peacebuilders Merwyn and Kirstin De Mello with this year's Bishop McCarthy Award.

After 28 years, veteran Maryknoll lay missioner Ann Greig prepares to close the San Ramón location of her innovative nutritional program and transition it to new leadership.
