Grounded in Catholic social teaching, we live and serve around the world.

We work, in response to Jesus' Gospel mandate, in spreading the love of God among our brothers and sisters in need throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America. In partnership with the local Church, we help create clinics and hospitals ... agricultural and vocational training programs ... leadership and community development programs ... AIDS ministry and education ... feeding, health hygiene and nutrition programs ... and we bring hope and healing to a world of broken spirits.

In Asia Maryknoll Missioners mirror Christ’s love amid a wide variety of cultures, languages and world religions. Our works include care of the mentally and physically challenged, counseling workers, promoting community organizations, AIDS ministries, and interreligious dialogue.

In Africa Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers share in the suffering of hundreds of thousands uprooted by war and famine, those struggling with AIDS and orphaned by AIDS, and the many who labor to compete in a global economy.

In Latin America Maryknoll has helped build the infrastructures of parishes, schools, clinics and social programs, and increasingly assists in the formation of a committed and active laity. From the Rio Grande to the Straits of Magellan, Maryknollers walk side-by-side with the people of Latin America in their struggle to live their lives in freedom, dignity and peace.

In the United States we work to increase awareness and understanding of mission throughout the country, with Mission Centers in Chicago, San Lorenzo, CA, and Houston, as well as at our New York headquarters, plus Mission Offices in Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Boston, Buffalo, Dallas, New Orleans, San Antonio, Los Angeles, Seattle, Honolulu, and Denver.
