Happenings in the Maryknoll world, especially in the Cambodia Mission Team.

Where is he?

Greetings…   I just arrived at Maryknoll, New York early this morning after almost two days of travel.  We had some delays because of Air Traffic Control and the trip took longer than usual.  I hope to get accounts of this trip online very quickly!

A Happy Return

In 2000, Rachel (red hair) came to Cambodia as a Maryknoll Lay Missioner, in the same class as Charlie Dittmeier.  She worked with children with severe disabilities at the Rabbit School.  At the same time, Sambath (second from right) was teaching at the Royal University of Phnom Penh in a Maryknoll project.  Rachel and Sambath met and eventually married after they returned to the United States.  This week they are back for a visit and to introduce to us their two children.  Welcome back!

Mission: Down to Basics

Fr. Kevin Conroy is a Maryknoll associate priest like me–a diocesan priest on loan to Maryknoll.  We live together in Phnom Penh.  He is a doctor of psychology and has started a mobile mental health team that especially tries to find and work with mentally ill people who are chained up or put in cages (like the woman above) because their families and society don’t know what to do with them.  Read about his ministry in Maryknoll Magazine.
