During his first overseas trip, Pope Francis encouraged all Catholics to become animated missioners without borders.

“Where does Jesus send us?” he asked World Youth Day pilgrims on July 28 in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. “There are no borders, no limits: He sends us to everyone.”

Will you answer the Pope’s call to mission?

For more than 100 years, Maryknoll missioners have been living the message of missioners without borders. Maryknoll has been the heart and the hands of the U.S. Catholic Church serving those who are most in need around the world.

The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers is a community of Catholic priests and Maryknoll Brothers who work as missioners in 27 different countries, including the U.S. For more information visit www.maryknollsociety.org or visit the Maryknoll Vocation’s website.

The Maryknoll Sisters is a congregation of women religious, who are dedicated to mission working with those in need throughout the world. They currently minister in 26 countries. For more information: www.maryknollsisters.org

The Maryknoll Lay Missioners is a Catholic organization inspired by the mission of Jesus to live and work in poor communities in Africa, Asia and the Americas, responding to basic needs and helping to create a more just and compassionate world. For more information: www.mklm.org

The Maryknoll Affiliates are communities of people who commit themselves to the mission goals of Maryknoll in the context of Chapters in the U.S. and overseas. They challenge one another to witness to mission as a way of life while striving for peace and justice for all of God’s creation. For more information visit www.maryknollaffiliates.org
