Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food, Health, Nutrition, Public Health, Religion, Roman Catholic
Mission: Founded in 1912 in New York, Maryknoll Sisters give witness to God's love as nurses, doctors, teachers and theologians, social workers, agronomists, writers, veterinarians, community development specialists, artists, and pastoral workers. Many are engaged in AIDS prevention education and ministry to AIDS patients. Other special groups are abused women, women in the commercial sex industry, migrant workers and alcoholics. After Vatican II, Sisters moved into these new ministries, turning over their institutional works to their capable and dedicated lay colleagues with whom they had worked for so many years. Sensitive to local needs, they search out and train for whatever form of ministry serves the community that invites them to share in its life and practice.
