Again, thank you for journeying with us as a missionary disciple!

Become a driving force for local and global evangelization

Connect your local diaconal ministry to the Church’s worldwide mission 

In the Maryknoll tradition, we are missionary disciples, men and women within the diaconal community, who strive to meet God through encounter with people on the situational and geographic margins.  Through accompaniment, service, and sharing stories and experiences we are mutually transformed in the Joy of the Gospel to go forth as prophetic witnesses of God's love.  Learn more about how our Deacon community is helping deacons create "communities of missionary disciples" here, there and everywhere...


 For if we have received the love 

which restores meaning to our lives, 

how can we fail to share that love 

with others?

Pope Francis, EVANGELII GAUDIUM

WE SERVE YOU SO THAT YOU CAN SERVE OTHERS
