As a Catholic missionary Society working in different cultures overseas, Maryknoll believes that dialogue with the followers of other religions is an important part of mission.

This is the meaning of interreligious dialogue.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A basic element of Maryknoll’s mission is the encounter with people of other faiths.

Christians are called to share life and that includes common efforts for justice and peace. Sometimes it means simply living together in harmony or working for reconciliation after conflicts. At other times it demands coming to the aid of the weakest and neediest in our midst, taking action in defense and solidarity with the poor and victims of injustice. On certain occasions, it could mean sharing the reasons for why we live the way we do.

Maryknollers are motivated, as they partner with those standing up for justice and peace, by a personal encounter with God.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14605″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]There are millions of people in the world who are seeking God, who are looking for a way to live in accord with God’s will, and who want to find meaning, and a reason for living in their daily situations.

Our mission to follow Christ includes many aspects:

  • daily prayer and worship of God
  • a special concern for the poor and victims of oppression and injustice
  • care for the sick and aged
  • theological reflection on the meaning of Christian faith in each cultural context
  • proclamation of faith, that is, sharing “the reasons for hope” with all those who are seeking truth
  • catechesis, the communication of the faith to new generations of Christian disciples
