Maryknoll Lay Missioners - May 2023 mklm news

For the past eight years, John O’Donoghue has been serving at a men's shelter run by the Missionaries of Charity in Cochabamba, Bolivia. For John, it has been a “homecoming” of sorts, since 30 years ago he worked with St. Teresa of Calcutta, the founder of the Missionaries of Charity.

In this video interview, he talks about his work in Cochabamba and his many decades of serving marginalized people around the world with works of mercy and compassion. John is preparing to retire this summer.

Elvira Ramirez urges all of us to embrace the opportunities before us — “to cooperate, to co-create and to embody together the Spirit’s movement through our lives.”

In the Northeast of Brazil, Kathy Bond and Flávio José Rocha join with other Maryknollers in providing alternative, holistic healing therapies — and, in the process, support and livelihoods for a women's cooperative.

We are still hiring for a Mission Services Department Manager, based in El Paso, Texas.

Apply by May 30, 2023.

Learn more about Maryknoll Lay Missioners, how to apply and to discern the next step in your journey. Maryknoll lay missioner Kathy Bond, serving in Brazil, will join our conversation and share her mission experience. Friday, May 12, 9 a.m. EDT.
