Maryknoll Sisters

Maryknoll Sisters

Sr. Mary Ellen Kempken (in Bolivia)

Maryknoll Sisters are committed to crossing boundaries, whether cultural, social, religious, geographic or economic to proclaim the Good News of the Reign of God.

We come from 29 countries and serve in 25 lands around the world. After handing over most of our schools, hospitals, and other institutions to local lay leaders, we work in smaller numbers in more places and in non-structured ministries such as basic Christian communities, adult education, leadership training, teaching English in China, fostering income-generating projects, and working with people who live with HIV/AIDS.

Women who join the community are trained in a variety of professions, serving as nurses, doctors, teachers, social workers, catechists, theologians, agronomists, artists, journalists and community development specialists. We try to be sensitive to local needs, searching out with the local people what needs to be done and adapting ourselves to various cultures.

What does it take to become a Maryknoll Sister?

Are you...

  • a single Catholic woman?
  • between the ages of 23 and 35?
  • in good health (physically and emotionally)?

Do you…

  • have a desire to respond in faith and to commit yourself to God through service to others in mission and celibate life in community?
  • have work experience or professional training?

You can be among women from many nations and diverse cultural backgrounds, living simply a celibate life in community.
