Happenings in the Maryknoll world, especially in the Cambodia Mission Team.
Kevin’s Birthday
Today was Fr. Kevin Conroy’s birthday and we celebrated it as part of our regular Maryknoll Wednesday meeting.
Kevin: “I was afraid no one would remember my birthday so I dressed up a little….”
Sr. Regina: “I’m staying away as far as I can. I think I’m safe here….”
Learn about MKLM!
I know many people have, at one time or another, entertained ideas of serving in mission in another country. But then school or careers or families intervened and the mission idea was put on the shelf. At some point, though, you may discover you can take your mission ideas off the shelf to see where the mission call leads you.
Maryknoll Lay Missioners offers orientation, language training, and support in mission placements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to people from their 20s to their 60s–or maybe a little higher? If you’d like to learn a little more about Maryknoll mission from Karen Bortvedt, the Maryknoll Lay Missioner recruiter, she will offer a webinar (a seminar on the web) on August 15 at 10:00 AM EST. If you would like to take a peek, send an e-mail to join@MKLM.org for login information. This webinar–and more to follow–are just to give information.
Another Farewell
This evening Maryknoll Cambodia said goodbye to Sami Scott, a Maryknoll Lay Missioner who has been with us for ten years. She is transferring to a new Maryknoll mission in Haiti.
Farewell to Sami
Sami Scott, a Maryknoll Lay Missioner, is finishing her term in Cambodia and moving to a new mission in Haiti. Today was her last time to be with the Cambodia Mission Team for their weekly Wednesday gathering, and at the end of mass we presented a small gift to Sami.

Fr. Jim Noonan’s Memorial Service
We had a memorial service yesterday for Fr. Jim Noonan who died in New York early in May. He was here in Cambodia for eighteen years and is still well remembered by many. Click here for pictures from the service.
Death of Jim Noonan
Yesterday morning I woke up to messages that Fr. Jim Noonan had died during the Cambodian night. Jim was a Maryknoll priest who served in Cambodia from 1991 to 2009. He and I lived together for several years, and he was one of the finest people and finest priests I know. We will miss him a lot. Here we have his picture before the altar as we set up for our liturgy with our regular Wednesday meeting today.
USA Trip: 24-25 April

USA Trip: 23 April
Today was my last full day in the US, at least the last non-travel day. I spent a good part of it in Manhattan and then after supper went to bed early because I had to leave the Maryknoll house 1:45 AM. Click here to see some Manhattan sights.
