Maryknoll Magazine Winter 2025
In this Winter issue, Maryknoll missioners reflect Pope Francis’ call to Christians to “abound in hope” by caring for people with HIV/AIDS in Kenya; visiting young prison inmates in El Salvador; and welcoming migrants, exiles and refugees at the U.S.-Mexico border. In Bolivia and Zimbabwe, Maryknoll projects bring together young people and elders in examples of what the Holy Father calls a “covenant between generations.” As we begin the Jubilee Year, read about how Maryknoll priests, sisters, brothers and lay people serve as Pilgrims of Hope across the world.
