Welcome to the Washington DC Chapter Webpage

The Washington, DC Maryknoll Affiliate Chapter is fortunate to be located in a center of activity for lobbying members of Congress, conferences, demonstrations and a host of similar opportunities to make our voice heard on key issue facing our country and world. Our proximity to the Maryknoll Office of Global Concerns also affords us the unique ability to hear directly from their staff working on a range of critical issues.

We would like to reach out to other Maryknoll Affiliate Chapters to provide information on resources available that can be used to study, reflect on and take action on a number of issues of importance to the faith community.

The initial concern that we have identified is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Resources include:

Finally, we welcome your feedback and thoughts on this issue. Please feel free to let us know of any additional resources that may be useful to Affiliates and others interested in this issue.

In April, Maryknoll Father Jim Noonan MM, who works with the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns, traveled to Afghanistan with a group called Voices for Creative Non-Violence and talked about his experience in meeting with "youth peacemakers" in Afghanistan, sharing their perspectives on how they keep the hope for peace alive in their country.

In May, Maryknoll Father Jack Sullivan MM shared with us the document entitled "The Unity Tree," a reflection on Maryknoll's history as a growing, vibrant movement that has experienced tremendous change and evolution since its founding in 1911. The group talked about how the Affiliates can contribute to Maryknoll as we move into the future.

In July, Jack Sullivan and Jim Noonan, who attended MAC from the DC chapter, shared their experiences from the Conference for the July meeting.
