Join us to work overseas as a Maryknoll Lay Missioner.
Have you ever wanted to work in something that deepens your Catholic faith while you also develop your professional and personal gifts?
If so, we invite you to come work with us. Maryknoll Lay Missioners is a Catholic community of lay, Religious and ordained people, including families and children. We participate in the mission of Jesus, serving in cross-cultural ministries in order to create a more just world in solidarity with the poor.
We live and work in 17 countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. As a Lay Missioner you can use and enrich your talents in areas such as:
- parish work
- direct service to people with AIDS
- education
- community organizing
- health care
Black Catholics in the U.S. have tremendous faith, wisdom and talents. Maryknoll invites you to share these gifts around the world.

We are committed to being led by the Holy Spirit to help dismantle racism in its different forms.
