Voices Of Our World

Summer 2026

Summer brings, in our Vocation Ministries Office, a time of change as Fr. Rodrigo Ulloa, our Director of Vocation Ministries, departs this ministry with much gratitude for the blessings he’s experienced through it.  In our Summer 2026 newsletter, Fr. Rodrigo offers parting words and photos that look back over his past six years as Vocation Director.  As Fr. Rodrigo remarks, “Praying our goodbyes is part of being a missioner… In moving on to my next assignment – our Formation House in Chicago – my bag is full of joy and my heart is bigger with the love of Christ, in whom we move, live, and have our being.”  We are grateful to Fr. Rodrigo for his years of service in vocation ministries.

We also announce the tentative dates of our next “Come and See” missionary discernment retreat — October 16th to 18th in Chicago, Illinois.  Please consider joining us for a weekend of insight, inspiration and encouragement in your own discernment of God’s call to missionary priesthood or Brotherhood.  If you would like to learn more, please email us at vocation@maryknoll.org.

Have a blessed summer!

  • From Brooklyn to Peru, a legacy with Maryknoll, Fr. Raymond Finch, M.M.

    Today we sit down with one of the most recognizable and respected Maryknoll Missioners, current Maryknoll Superior General Fr. Raymond Finch. For those of you who are fans of Maryknoll, you’re likely greeted with Fr. Finch’s weekly Journey of Faith reflection every Sunday.  Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y. Fr. Finch was inspired by one of Maryknoll’s first priests and fellow Brooklynite, Bishop Francis Xavier Ford who was martyred in China in 1952. Interestingly Fr. Finch was one of the first students to attend Bishop Ford High School in Brooklyn named in honor of him. Journey with us to the high-altitudes of the Altiplano region of Peru where Fr. Finch worked with the indigenous Aymara community for over 20 years.  Fr. Finch reminds us that in Mission we have to meet people where they are, not where we want or expect them to be.
