We Live and Serve Around the World
Our Rich History
When two American priests from distinctly different backgrounds met in Montreal in 1910, they both recognized that the Church would not flourish until it sent missioners overseas, so began formulating plans to establish a seminary for foreign missionaries.
The Maryknoll Family
The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers are one of four entities within the grander Maryknoll organization.
The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, Inc. (the “Maryknoll Society”) does not sponsor the Maryknoll Affiliate movement; groups identifying as Maryknoll Affiliates are not corporate subsidiaries or affiliates of the Maryknoll Society as a juridical entity; and they are not agents or representatives of the Maryknoll Society. Specific actions and views expressed by these groups are not necessarily those of the Maryknoll Society, and the Society is not liable for their activities. The name “Maryknoll” is a registered trademark of the Maryknoll Society.
Our Mission Archives
Maryknoll Mission Archives is the official repository of historical records of the Society, the Sisters and Lay Missioners, their corporate affairs, the mission lives of their members and the notable activities of communities in which their members served.
Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns
The Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns (OGC) represents the entire Maryknoll family, leveraging the collective global voice and experience of Maryknoll to actively participate in important debates about public policy in the United Nations, the U.S. and other governments, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and the corporate world.
