E-mail Print PDF

OGC LogoWe are please to let you know that, after a discussion with Interim Director Kathy McNeely and Jim Noonan MM, associate for Asia and disarmament, of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns (MOGC), the Office for Global Concerns will begin a new outreach efforts to the Maryknoll Affiliates. Jim will be contacting Maryknoll Affiliate Chapters in the form of phone calls and visits to encourage Affiliate participation at "Maryknoll on the Hill", which will take place from May 15-16, 2012, and to establish ongoing relationships.

When he visits a Chapter, Jim envisions a session of about 1 to 1½ hours that would include a personal invitation to "Maryknoll on the Hill", a listening session, an overview of the work of the Office and time for discussion, questions and answers.

The MOGC addresses issues raised by Maryknollers overseas and Justice and Peace Commissions of dioceses. The MOGC does not have the capacity to address all issues, but Kathy and Jim hope to continue building and strengthening partnerships between Affiliates and the Office, and enhancing the Maryknoll network.

Contact us if you have any questions.

USCMA Logo

Dear USCMA Members,

One thing I promised myself to do as Executive Director was, when possible, to refresh our collective memory concerning the Resolutions we had taken over the years at our Annual meetings. We will shortly have an occasion to "walk the walk" concerning the Resolution taken in Miami about "Human Trafficking." Two days from now, Wednesday, January 11, 2012 is Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the U.S., thanks to passage of a resolution by the Senate on June 22, 2007 making January 11th a day of awareness and vigilance for the countless victims of Human Trafficking around the world. The Resolution we, Members of the USCMA, passed is the following:

Resolution:

Be it resolved that we, as members of the United States Catholic Mission Association (USCMA) in association with the Franciscan Federation and the Franciscan Action Network, upholding the inherent dignity of each human person in the tradition of St. Francis and St Clare of Assisi, denounce all forms of human trafficking as criminal acts that violate basic human rights and exploit innocent people. We pledge to work for the elimination of human trafficking and its causes; to advocate for rescue, safety, and justice for trafficked persons; and to demand prosecution of perpetrators.

Marie Dennis' Farewell Message

E-mail Print PDF

Dear Maryknollers,

Marie DennisAs you may know, I will be leaving my position as director of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns next week. For over 22 years I have had the great privilege of working for Maryknoll – first for the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers and Maryknoll Lay Missioners in the Justice and Peace Office, then for all of you when the collaborative office was established in 1997.

It is impossible to express adequately my gratitude to each of you for the gift of this experience. In these years I have had the great privilege of visiting most corners of the Maryknoll world. What I have seen there – the witness of your lives and the deep commitment of Maryknoll to bring the Good News to a broken world - have nourished my own faith and formed the bedrock for our work for you in New York and Washington and beyond.

At their annual Mission Conference of 2011, members of the US Catholic Mission Association (we are members of USCMA) approved four resolutions that might be of interest to Maryknoll Affiliates. You may want to look at these resolutions as a Chapter and perhaps use them as a reflection piece as well as take some of the recommended actions. The 2011 resolutions included:
