Rosa Beatriz Casta\u00f1eda de Larios says that Maryknoll spirituality is \u201cinherent\u201d to her life. From first grade, she was formed by Maryknoll sisters at Colegio Monte Mar\u00eda in Guatemala City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casta\u00f1eda\u2019s friend Rosa Mar\u00eda de Le\u00f3n, who also attended Monte Mar\u00eda, adds, \u201cShe drank it in like mother\u2019s milk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Casta\u00f1eda helps keep the Maryknoll spirit alive in Guatemala by leading the country\u2019s chapter of the Maryknoll Affiliates<\/a>. The affiliates identify with the Maryknoll family while remaining active in their professions, homes and communities. Each affiliate commits to living out the four pillars of community, spirituality, global vision and action. Since 1991, chapters have taken root worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nucleus of the Guatemala chapter\u2019s founding was Colegio Monte Mar\u00eda. \u201cMost of us are graduates,\u201d says Casta\u00f1eda, who earned a primary school teaching degree there in 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colegio Monte Mar\u00eda stood out among the capital city\u2019s prestigious all-girls schools, she says, because the Maryknoll sisters \u201cwere ahead of their time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Le\u00f3n explains that in those days women weren\u2019t supposed to think for themselves, nor take initiative. Yet, she recalls, Maryknoll Sister Elizabeth McDermott<\/a> had a favorite saying: \u201cThink and then act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another distinguishing aspect of the school, Casta\u00f1eda says, was service. Maryknoll sisters who worked with Indigenous communities in rural areas gave talks inviting students to perform a month of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Guatemala City, the sisters organized a volunteer network to help people in need, such as squatters at the municipal garbage dump. The missioners showed respect for the dignity of every person, Casta\u00f1eda says, setting an example to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1978, Sister Patricia Roe<\/a> asked Casta\u00f1eda to become principal of Monte Mar\u00eda \u2014 a role she would hold for 34 years. That same year, Casta\u00f1eda married; Maryknoll sisters later became honorary grandmothers to the couple\u2019s three children. They celebrated Christmas together every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas gatherings continue at Casta\u00f1eda\u2019s home \u2014 now, including Maryknoll affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although their Affiliates chapter was not formalized until 2009, Casta\u00f1eda says, most of its members had long histories with Maryknoll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recalls the day that the late Maryknoll Father Thomas Goekler<\/a> came to her with an urgent plea: \u201cI need help in Zone 18.\u201d The priest was starting a neighborhood center in one of the city\u2019s poorest and most crime-ridden areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo we started going every Saturday to Zone 18, setting up the house,\u201d she says. The Affiliates chapter continues to support the project, called Caminando Por La Paz<\/a> (Walking for Peace).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately four times a year, Casta\u00f1eda, de Le\u00f3n and other affiliates venture further afield, to the remote town of Catarina near the Mexico border. There, they offer educational workshops for health promoters<\/a> trained by Maryknoll Sister Mary Lou Daoust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the nearby town of Pajapita, they support a project for people with HIV\/AIDS<\/a> run by Maryknoll Sister Delia Marie \u201cDee\u201d Smith. The affiliates sell organic honey, fertilizer, eggs and other products in Guatemala City to benefit the ministry. Three of its staff have joined the Affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently 45 members in the very active Guatemala chapter, Casta\u00f1eda says proudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Le\u00f3n says that every undertaking \u201cneeds a driving force \u2014 someone who doesn\u2019t mind pulling people along, persisting with them, and recognizing their skills and best qualities.\u201d Casta\u00f1eda, she says, \u201cis that driving force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after she retired from Monte Mar\u00eda in 2012, Casta\u00f1eda, who is fluent in English, began to translate the Maryknoll Affiliates newsletter, \u201cNot So Far Afield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before long, she and other affiliates saw the need to move beyond mere translation. The Guatemala chapter spearheaded an original Spanish-language version titled \u201cNo Tan Lejos Del Horizonte,\u201d offering reports and reflections from Latin America on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the 2017 Maryknoll Affiliates Chapter conference drew near, Guatemala accepted the challenge of hosting the international gathering. \u201cIt was the first time the event took place outside of the United States,\u201d Casta\u00f1eda says, noting that it took two years to prepare. They were made for it, she adds, explaining that Monte Mar\u00eda\u2019s alumnae include professionals in various fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chapter\u2019s organizing expertise was called on again for a two-day virtual gathering in 2024. The 85 participants, affiliates from around the world, deepened their commitment to Maryknoll\u2019s charism under the theme \u201cCultural diversity is our collective wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if to bring this theme to life, Casta\u00f1eda has stepped into a new role. Having served on the Maryknoll Affiliates board of directors and executive committee, she was recently named board chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Affiliate movement has been trying to emphasize and more intently respond to our international nature<\/a>,\u201d says Robert Short, affiliate and executive coordinator. \u201cHaving Rosa Beatriz as our chair will give that a boost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
