The Maryknoll Sisters are women religious missionaries whose passion is to seek God’s love and compassionate justice wherever we are. As our founder, Mother Mary Joseph Rogers, once said: “Each of us has seen her own star and had the grace to follow it. Our stars–a vocation to the foreign mission–led us to Maryknoll” to serve in Jesus’ name. We go to other lands crossing boundaries of culture, religion and race. Today, with a membership of approximately 600 women of varied cultures and nationalities, we are in 30 countries worldwide. Our communities are ordinarily small, multicultural and multigenerational. The ministries that we engaged in are varied depending on the skills and gifts each Sister has and the realities of the people we are sent to. We respect the culture of the people and try to adapt ourselves to their customs and aspirations as we journey with them in the search for truth, justice, and “life in abundance.” Come and share our mission–our blessings.
