Maryknoll Retreat and Meetings 2010

Meeting Day 3
22 January 2010

On this third day of our meeting time in Hua Hin, the whole Maryknoll Asia South group--Maryknollers from nine countries--meet together. In various ways we looked at the big issues facing us in this year and the next few years and started to identify what we want to change and how to do it.

Bill Galvin presiding at mass This morning Fr. Bill Galvin presided at the liturgy before he headed to Bangkok to return to Hong Kong.

Helene O'Sullivan introducing the day's agenda Helene O'Sullivan, one of the steering committee for MAS, introduced the plan for the day's work together.

Jack Corcoran from Nepal Each of the countries in MAS gave a report on the situation in the country. Jack Corcoran provided information on Maryknoll in Nepal where there are now only two Maryknollers.

Lisa Pirie taking notes Lisa Pirie was one of the volunteer note takers for the meetings today.

Eileen Brady, Alice Marianito, John Barth People have been meeting and talking for over a week but there's always more to say and discover. Here Eileen Brady, Alice Marianito, and John Barth get together.

Len Montiel, Lindsay Doucette, Tom O'Brien A popular chatting place at the retreat house is this little wooden gazebo located in the breezeway between the two wings of the center. Len Montiel, Lindsay Doucette, and Tom O'Brien here take advantage of its coziness.

Regina Pellicore Sr. Regina Pellicore gave the report for the mission team in Cambodia. She said as a teacher, she had to use a graphic as part of her explanation.

Filipina Maryknoll partners One beautiful part of the Maryknoll experience in Southeast Asia has been the sharing in mission with various partners from other mission groups. Here are six of our Filipina partners who work in Cambodia and Thailand.

Small group discussion In the afternoon, four groups went through a series of questions to help identify key ideas for change and development in Maryknoll's work in Southeast Asia and to plan action steps to make the ideas come to reality.

Making choices for future action After the small groups listed their ideas on newsprint and explained them, each Maryknoller used different colored dots to indicate first, second, and third choices for our priorities.
