Maryknoll Magazine Fall 2025
This issue of Maryknoll magazine, Heralds of Hope, presents our two recently ordained priests. They are signs of hope for the Church, for Maryknoll as a mission society and for the people they will serve abroad.
So, too, is our new pontiff, Pope Leo XIV. The first pope from the United States, he brings personal mission experience and “a deep commitment to dialogue, peace and global solidarity” to the Church and the world.
