On the road again….

Saying Goodbye to Karen
Maryknoll Lay Missioners work on 3 1/2 year contracts and the end of her contract is approaching for Karen Bortvedt who was assigned to Cambodia and has been working (with great success!) at the Maryknoll Deaf Development Programme. This evening the Maryknoll community along with a few friends of Maryknoll had a little social to officially say goodbye to Karen. She will be missed!
