Vocations Newsletter
Voices Of Our World
Spring 2024
Hi friends! I hope this newsletter finds you well. The Vocations Team prepared this edition thinking not only of your vocation discernment as a priest or brother but also in your interest in mission. In this issue, I share with you my participation in our Maryknoll Central America Pilgrim Retreat which took place this past January. Some 20 participants traveled to El Salvador and Guatemala to learn about the life of martyrs – men and women, lay and religious – who sacrificed their lives for the Gospel. I hope you enjoy it. Blessings in your discernment! – Fr. Rodrigo.
