Voices Of Our World
Fall 2026
With our Fall 2026 newsletter, we welcome Brother Joe Bruener, M.M., as our new Director of Vocation Ministries. Br. Joe introduces himself and looks forward to accompanying those discerning God’s call as prospective missionary brothers and priests. As Br. Joe remarks, “I admire your courage to respond to God’s call in the face of an American culture which is trying to negate your call and even your love of Christ and your desire to offer yourselves up to Him in a formal and sacred way. I’m praying for you and hoping that Maryknoll is your forever home!”
In this issue, we also feature photos taken by one of our Maryknoll discerners, Huy Nguyễn, during a recent pilgrimage trip in which he honors those martyred in Vietnam during the 18th and 19th centuries. And, we highlight Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen whose beatification on September 24th, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri, celebrates an extraordinary 20th century U.S. Church leader, media personality, and champion of mission.
