In school, asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, young Joe Everson drew a picture of a priest. In college, he envisioned a teaching career \u2014 and ended up becoming an attorney instead. These turns along the road were not errant delays, but part and parcel of his formation as a missioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngest of 10 siblings in San Francisco, Maryknoll Father Joseph Everson III, 63, remembers thumbing through the pages of Maryknoll<\/em> magazine as a child, fascinated by the lives of missioners in faraway lands. \u201cThat was the type of life I wanted,\u201d he recalls thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During adolescence, the call to priesthood lingered in his mind. However, attending the University of California, Berkeley, he majored in history with the intention of becoming a teacher. During his last year there, Everson discovered another aptitude: law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He graduated from Berkeley in 1984 and went on to earn a juris doctor from the University of Texas at Austin. Afterward, he began working as a corporate lawyer at a well-established firm in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was while I was working as a corporate attorney that I once again found God patiently waiting for me,\u201d Father Everson reflected later. He reached out to Maryknoll to join the missionary society.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his overseas training as a Maryknoll seminarian, Joseph Everson III took part in local customs such as this festive shower of confetti at a First Holy Communion celebration. (Robert Milazzo\/Peru)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few years later he found himself on the shores of Lake Titicaca in the Peruvian altiplano at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet in the cold, semi-arid region of Puno. He was in his Overseas Training Program, learning how to be a missioner from Maryknoll Father Edmund Cookson<\/a>, who by then had worked for 30 years with the Indigenous Aymara people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a seminarian, Father Everson says, he felt welcomed by the local community in the Isthmus of Yunguyo. He led pastoral ministries for children and youth and became involved in parish activities for adults. He says \u201cthe Aymara people\u2019s way of seeing faith as an intrinsic part of their everyday life\u201d impressed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do once or twice remember thinking, \u2018Why did I choose to do this?\u2019 I had a comfortable life in New York City,\u201d he says. \u201cThose doubts were good because they required me to reflect, to be more intentional, and to seek strength in the values that had set me on this path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two years in Peru, seminarian Everson returned to the States. He earned a master of divinity degree from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and was ordained as a Maryknoll priest in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times<\/em>, reporting on Father Everson\u2019s ordination<\/a>, noted that \u201cfor him, the drastic change from corporate lawyer to missionary priest could not have felt more natural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reassigned to Peru, the missioner was stationed in Tacna where he began a prison ministry in two correctional facilities in the city. He soon discovered that the inmates \u201cwere very needy in every sense of the word, spiritually needy, and grateful for the services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also ministered in the prison of Challapalca, a maximum-security facility located more than 15,000 feet<\/a> above sea level between Puno and Tacna. The administration allowed him to visit the prisoners, many of whom had not received a visit in years because of the prison\u2019s remote location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have found few things as life-giving as prison ministry,\u201d Father Everson wrote at the time. There is \u201ca very real conversion that goes on in the lives of many. For the first time many of the men and women are reflecting on their lives, on their character, and on God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, Father Everson was assigned to Cochabamba, Bolivia<\/a>, where he was chaplain of San Antonio prison. He also served at a Fe y Alegr\u00eda school<\/a>, part of a Jesuit network that offers integral education to impoverished and vulnerable children in marginalized communities. Achieving his dream of teaching, he imparted religion classes to students and worked with their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of them had been street kids,\u201d he says. \u201cThe idea was to bring them into a special school to get them up to standards so they could then go into a regular school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Everson later served for three years at a parish in Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, on the Mexico-U.S. border, before returning to the States for further studies. In 2010, he earned a licentiate in canon law from the Catholic University of America. He returned to Bolivia, this time to La Paz, to teach canon law at the diocesan seminary and to serve on the diocesan tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon law, the attorney says, has a spiritual element to it. \u201cIt\u2019s based on the Church\u2019s teaching and practice,\u201d he says. \u201cI see it as very pastoral \u2014 it\u2019s there to help people in whatever situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elected in 2014 to the Maryknoll Society\u2019s General Council as vicar general<\/a>, Father Everson applied his expertise to the Society\u2019s legal and administrative matters. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, the General Council sought ways to protect and sustain its retired priests residing on the New York campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a community,\u201d Father Everson says. \u201cYou have to balance that with a sense of home and other spiritual needs that people have beyond their health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryknoll Father Raymond Finch<\/a>, who was superior general at the time, says he is grateful for Father Everson\u2019s support during those trying years. \u201cHe is always ready to respond to the needs of Maryknoll and the needs of evangelization,\u201d Father Finch says. \u201cHe gives 100% to the people he is serving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Father Everson was assigned to Hong Kong<\/a>, where he now serves as assistant parish priest at St. Margaret\u2019s Church and as canon lawyer for the judicial vicar of the Hong Kong diocese. Maryknoll Father Joyalito Tajonera<\/a>, superior of the Asia region, says that Father Everson\u2019s leadership \u201cis a gift to mission, to the local church and to Maryknoll. We all seek his advice as a civil and canon lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Everson also teaches two classes for adult faith formation and initiation into the Catholic Church, known as OCIA (formerly called RCIA), the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way Father Joe structured our learning is that he encourages us to share our doubts and questions,\u201d says a student. \u201cThe purpose is to let us understand the core value of being Catholics. It\u2019s an ongoing spiritual journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraged by Father Everson, students share on their first day of class their motivations for seeking the faith. Some want to cope with loss and illness, while others want to share a closer connection to their Catholic relatives. Some are seeking truth and peace in tumultuous times and discovering the power of prayer. \u201cIndividual lives are touched,\u201d Father Everson says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am absolutely impressed by how many adults have become Catholics here in Hong Kong. We baptized about 150 at our 2024 Easter Vigil,\u201d the missioner says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father Everson\u2019s own journey to the priesthood mirrors his vision of how all-encompassing and enriching missionary work is. For him, it is about inclusivity. \u201cMission is about learning from the people, being willing to listen and learn,\u201d he says. \u201cIt isn\u2019t about leaving people behind but about creating a wider circle to include others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
