Maryknoll Magazine Spring 2025
In our Spring 2025 issue, we visit the jungles of Guatemala, where Maryknoll priests have built a dozen chapels, and Hong Kong, where a school founded by the Maryknoll Sisters celebrates its centenary. Of note, too, in this issue is our tribute to the late Father Gustavo Gutiérrez, an Orbis Books author who is considered the father of liberation theology.
This Lenten season, join us in prayer with Maryknoll missioners who live and work in a spirit of hope.
