Maryknoll Affiliates

The Affiliates recently welcomed their latest small mission community in El Salvador. The Chapter has been in formation for several months, accompanied and mentored by the members of the Maryknoll Mission Community-El Salvador (MMC-ES). During the October 9, 2011 local Maryknoll Centennial celebrations, Sr. Mary Annel, Fr. John Spain and Lay Missioner Larry Parr, along with other members of the MMC-ES, formally welcomed the Chapter into the Maryknoll family. The group is currently comprised of 6 members, each with many unique gifts and a passion for the Maryknoll charism. They offer an impressive commitment to the Affiliate's global pillar. Their members have had cross-cultural experiences in Guatemala, Honduras, Cuba, Columbia and Nicaragua and some of their interests include working with indigenous peoples, formation of youth leaders and art and spirituality. Greetings of welcome can be sent to their contact person, Cristina Quintanilla Ortiz here.
