Cover Summer 2025 - Pope Francis

Maryknoll Magazine Summer 2025

This Summer 2025 issue of Maryknoll magazine is dedicated to our beloved Pope Francis. Our cover story pays tribute to the pope from Argentina who was a sign of hope and inspiration for the Maryknoll family, the Catholic Church and the world. 

While our print magazine went to press before the conclave, our web pages reflect the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first from the United States. The summer issue also includes a statement from Maryknoll’s superior general, addressing current challenges faced by our country.
