One of the best parts of this anniversary weekend was reconnecting with old Maryknoll friends like Joe Loney and Juan Zuniga.
Elivira Ramirez, Executive Director of Maryknoll Lay Missioners, gave a report to begin the morning.
Then Mike Wrob, chairman of the Board of Directors, gave a report on the board’s activities and plans.
Bob Short gave an update on the activities of the Maryknoll Associates.
After all the reports were finished, the program ended with a final lunch. In the afternoon, I went to the Mariandale center in Ossining to meet with Dominican Sister Janet Marchesani. We worked together with Catholic deaf people 45 years ago. Now her Dominican Sisters of Hope have been donating money to assist the Deaf Development Programme in Cambodia.
Returning to Maryknoll, I moved from the center of the Maryknoll priests and brothers to the center of the Maryknoll Sisters to meet with sisters I have known from Hong Kong and Cambodia. Sr. Regina Pellicore welcomed me.
