Maryknoll Magazine Fall 2026
Welcome to the Fall magazine — our vocations issue. Father Victor Mutobera, Maryknoll’s newest priest, graces our cover. In an interview, ordaining prelate Bishop Joseph Perry reflects that mission is intrinsic to the priesthood. Maryknoll Father Lo Xuan Dam, serving in Japan, is an example.
Readers will also find in this issue stories about other Maryknoll vocations: a brother at the Society Center, a sister who served in East Timor, a family in Tanzania and an affiliate in Guatemala. As Maryknoll Father Joseph Healey writes, “Let us celebrate mission.”
