Maryknoll Vocation Newsletter 2023
This newsletter is sent out to all men who are expressing interest in becoming a Maryknoll missionary priest or Brother. This edition begins with a short reflection entitled: Dreamers and Visionaries. The world is in such need of messengers of hope, visionaries who see things as they are and dream of how they can be. We then hear from a senior Maryknoller who served refugees fleeing from the Rwandan genocide in 1995. This if followed by a visit to our Formation House in Chicago. Our vocation director, Fr. Rodrigo Ulloa, then shares an evening with young adults in Houston and finally we end with a poem about Pentecost.
