Maryknoll is a Catholic non-profit mission movement based in Los Altos, CA, comprised of four organizations dedicated to overseas mission work for over a century. The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, Sisters, Lay Missioners, and Affiliates serve the poor and marginalized in over 20 countries, providing witness to God's love and creating a more just and compassionate world.
Founded in 1912, Maryknoll Sisters were the first group of Catholic sisters in the U.S. focused on overseas missions, while Lay Missioners commit to 2-3 years of service collaborating with local communities in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Affiliates support the mission goals of Maryknoll through prayer, reflection, and action, embodying the call for all Catholics to become missionary disciples through baptism.
