Maryknoll 2020 Holy Week Mission Discernment Retreat

Voices of Our World

 

To assist those looking to the future with an eye towards Catholic mission service overseas we will be offering a discernment retreat during Holy Week for men and women thinking of becoming missionary Priests, Brothers, Sisters, Short Term Volunteers or Lay Missioners.  This will take place at our Maryknoll headquarters in Ossining, NY just 20 miles north of New York City.  Arrival is on Wednesday April 8th or at the latest on the morning of Thursday April 9th.  Talks and discussions about these missionary vocations will be accompanied by moments of prayer and the liturgical celebrations of the Sacred Triduum.  The retreat will end with the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday night with departure anytime on Easter Sunday April 12th.  If you are interested contact us at vocation@maryknoll.org for further information.

Winter 2025

Fr. Rodrigo begins our Winter 2025 – 2026 Vocation Newsletter by observing that, much like the signs of God’s love that guide us through the Advent and Christmas seasons, discerning a vocation requires attention to the signs that God sends us in our daily lives. We see, discern, and live into these signs as turn our hearts to God’s call, to the needs of others, and to the gifts we bring to those lowly of birth. As Maryknoll Father Bill Mullan remarked of his own ministry in Central America, “The missioner is a sign of hope, someone from the outside showing respect, love and concern for people in, at times, desperate situations.”

We also announce our 2026 Holy Week “Come and See” Retreat, April 1st — 5th, 2026, for men discerning priesthood or Brotherhood. Please join us at our Mission Center at Maryknoll, NY, where we will journey together with Christ to a new life in God’s love.
