    “..We must be, too, as ‘lights of the world.’ The light we shed in our lives may be small… and yet God may make use of a small life to do great things.”
    -Bishop James A. Walsh, July, 1924

From the Editor: Legacy of Hope

By Lynn F. Monahan | June 2, 2025

We dedicate this issue of Maryknoll to our beloved Pope Francis, whose passing happened while we were on deadline for our print edition.

The two Maryknoll seminarians, who were ordained last year as transitional deacons, will be ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Seitz at the Maryknoll Society headquarters in Ossining, New York, on June 7, 2025.
