New MAC - SAVE THE DATE

New MAC – Safe the Date

It’s still over a year away but planning has already begun for our next Maryknoll Affiliate Conference (MAC). Here’s what we know so far:

Date: September 12-15, 2027

Place: Franciscan Renewal Center, Scottsdale, AZ

Theme: Living the Maryknoll Charism Today – The “Today” part of the theme is especially important here. While the essentials of the Maryknoll Charism* very much remain, we recognize that the world and each of us are evolving, unfolding and becoming. In this context, what does the Maryknoll charism and the Affiliate Pillars of Spirituality, Community, Global Vision and Action look like for us. How can we remain a vital, committed and welcoming community going forward?

The keynote presenters, workshops, costs, schedule, socializations, registration and so much else will be announced in the months ahead.

This is primarily an in-person event and our first MAC in the Southwest of the U.S. at the beautiful Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale.  And it’s just 15 minutes from the airport. If you’d like to take a look, click the link: Home | The Casa FRC

The MAC has always been a time of genuine joy and renewal for Affiliates and for all Maryknollers who attended. Please Save the Dave for MAC 2027.

* A spirituality of crossing borders (in body and/or spirit) to encounter and be in solidarity with the poor and marginalized in other cultures, and to hopefully be a prophetic witness - all rooted in faith.
