Maryknoll lay missioners are present in El Paso, Texas, where migrants face constantly changing rules as they seek to find safety in the United States, and also in El Salvador, where together with marginalized people they face the gang violence and community disruption that have been driving this migration.

In this time of special need—both for legal assistance for immigrants and for making life better in countries like El Salvador—your generous donation to our “Border and El Salvador Fund” makes a big difference on both sides of the border.

Lay Missioners go to mission as representatives of the U.S. church and are supported by U.S. Catholics. We therefore have a responsibility to communicate our mission experience back to the U.S. We show respect for our supporters through careful stewardship of the resources they pass on to us. And we bring back to them the spiritual riches we have gained through our own on-going conversion among the peoples of the world.

The three branches of Maryknoll, the Fathers and Brothers, Sisters and Lay Missioners are each separately funded and operated. Although we often join together to serve in mission, each entity depends on its donors’ support. Your gift today enables our mission to continue.

We know that the generosity of our benefactors makes all the difference in our success. Maryknoll Lay Missioners adheres to the intent of each donor’s gift. Maryknoll Lay Missioners practices financial transparency and accountability to our donors. We strive for practicing the highest ethical standards in stewarding those donations so generously given.
