Just wanted to say hi! My great uncle was Bishop Francis Ford and he communicated often with my dad, Frank Ford. We have many articles about his journey in Canton and we are so proud that Maryknoll is working around the world. My husband frequents Arusha, Tanzania often and I'm hoping one time he might be able to look up the Maryknoll Missions in Tanzania. God Bless

Kija Nyalali      Dhaka, Bangladesh    2007-10-12
The Website is real good, it have a lot of details about Maryknolls and of course useful contac details to the Fr. Just to send my warm regards to Fr. Paul Fagan, who had been a helping hand to many poor young women in Shinyanga and Beyond. May God bless him and all people who donated for the support of Girls education, that had brought me to who I am.

Kija Paschal Nyalali      Dhaka_Bangladesh    2007-10-07
Hi! my name is Kija Paschal, a Tanzanian, currently doing my Masters in Public Health program at BRAC University in Dhaka-Bangladesh. I felt like a burning fire in my heart when I came across this website as I just thought of Fr. Paul Fagan and was just trying to google his name. Just to thank him and Pray that God keep him to see the good results of what he did. I was raised by a single mother and had to go through all life difficulties till I met Paul Fagan, with close assistance from Stephen Isdori. By then my mother had tried all the possibilities to have money to send me to school, but the decision was "I have to wait" by that time I was late by two weeks. I have no vocabularies to thank him, his efforts have opened my and my family's life. I Pray for him and all Maryknolls in Africa "may God award you with abundant of Blessings for bringing light to lives of AFRICANS"

This is a message for Sister Jenoveva. Hi sister it's Scot not Skirt. I was with Carolyn and sister seven last year in November. I have a book I want to send you. Write message via e-mail and let me know how to send it to you. I have not heard from anyone for months now. Is Peter doing ok? How about Fred and the other sisters are doing well I take it. I hope you recieved the photos I sent to you. Were you abel to take advantage of them and use them to sell to turists so you can make some money? I really enjoyed my time with you and would love the opportuntiy to talk over the internet. I know the phone is very expencive and we can send each other messages from time to time. God has been really working on my heart and through my church we are working with a mission in Mallowi, Africa. I am planning to come back again but it really depends on how the money comes in. I have faith that God will provide and we will do something together to help people. I look forward to hearing from you. Scot not Skirt

As a child I heard so much about "Father Dick" Hochwalt, as he is my mother's cousin. I did a search tonight on his father and was thrilled to see his name pop up, too. My family lost track of him years ago and I would love to know what he is doing today, and how the rest of his family is. I hope that someone monitors this site, as I see these emails but the years are not noted! Thank you!

Hi all Kowak viewers.. it is great to see the face of kowak, and to have people who are supporting all efforts made under Fr. James Cornard. It is true that Kowak Parish has fr James who is very much interested in Kowak development, such as Secondary schools, Health center , etc, BUT we have to help him to do so!!! we should not end up only on congatulating him.. we have to give him support!!! to make him made proper, and quick development within our Kowak. Best Regards, Andere Kodiko.

Patrick Goertz      Wichita, KS    2006-06-13
Greetings. I am very moved by what I have read and seen on your site. I am an Episcopalian. I am a retired RN and now am a fiber artist. Could any of your priests, nuns or congregants use colorful stoles, scarves, afghans or pillows? Or, I could send appropriate bolts of cloth, yarns and sewing notions if that would be preferred. Just tell me what would be most useful. I will, of course, add all of you to my daily prayers. God bless you! Patrick

Kristin                                          2006-05-05
This is a very insightful website with a very worthy mission. The opportunity to hear God's word is not available to many people, and the knowledge of His children furthering His kingdom brings a smile to His face:) Keep on and God bless!

Father Herb Gappa taught me catechism through the Maryknoll correspondence course while he was a student in the seminary. I found a Christmas card he had sent many years ago ( nearly 45 years ago). He was just about my age, but I didn't know it. As a teenager I was on my spiritual journey and he helped to lead me. When I found his newsletter and articles on the Maryknoll website I was thrilled. It is so moving to find his faith and excitement for Jesus to still be so alive and working to do Gods will. Bless you Father Gappa for all the good you have done through the years. Please know that my prayers are with you always. Jeanine

Sara Talis became my girlfriend and best friend when I returned from Vietnam as an infantry paratrooper in 1970.Sara was a Maryknoll lay missionary in Tanzania in the 70's or 80's,after we seperated. I would like to contact Sara and thank her for all that she did for me and meant to me at that hard time in my life. Too often the realization of how much people mean to us comes way too late for us to express it. I do not want that to happen to me and to a lady like Sara who still is very much in my heart and thoughts.If anyone who reads this knows Sara, would you please give her this message and my e-mail address of ***** Thank you for your consideration and your valuable work.Greg

hi! you guys SAVED my project on Sudan!! thank you so much!!! Thank you! thank you! thank you!!

Fr. Matthew Pagan                      2004-10-05
I am a former student of Fr. Tom Tiscornia. He was my Rector in the Minor Seminary in El-Obeid Diocese. He was very encouraging. Many of us hated Arabic language due to our background as southern Sudanese. But Fr. Tom managed to convince us that Arabic is very important for our pastoral ministry as future pastors in Sudan. He made friendships with the Muslims, building a spirit of dailogue. I remember some of Arab friends coming to converse visit him. He was once invited to a palce called El Nehud, where the Langauge Institute for the church personnel was. He ate our local which is porriage. Fr. Tom left in my mind memories of an humble and visioned missioner. He tried to bring us upon for the Sudan of tomorrow. I am greteful indeedd for all that he did. May God keep him healthy.

Lawi Stephen Odiero      Zanzibar    2004-05-26
I was very happy when I came across this website. It is great indeed. I am a native of Kowak village and a Roman catholic. Kowak is my parish. it is a long time since I left Kowak. I am currently in Zanzibar. I am delighted to learn about the developments that are at Kowak having been engineered by Fr. James Conard, Secondary school, Health centre etc. May i just take this opportunity to congratulate Fr. James for all these archievements which are entirely for the benefits of us, the kowak. Jim must have encountered difficulties during this all process! He never dispared in all! God bless Jim. he is hard working. But most of all I was moved with joy to see the images of the environment i come from. The church building, Health centre, the people, students and most of all the face of Fr. James which used to be popular to me During those days. Ooh it was great experience I will cherish! May God bless Maryknoll fathers, "Erokamano ainya!"

Fr. Jim Lee      Olympia, WA.    2004-05-21

Anastasia Nkebukwa      Dar es Salaam    2004-03-24
I received the best part of my education from Maryknoll sisters at the then Rosary College in Mwanza. The Rosarian message was basically 'love and care for one another.'This message which is still carried on by the Maryknollers has seen me safely through some rough times. It has also helped me to help others. That is what I call education. Congratulations Maryknollers, and please keep up the spirit, especially now when so many people are either infected or affected by HIV/AIDS and need to be loved and cared for. God bless you, always. A Rosarian

The website is very good, because I think I have found what I searched for. In the early 1970's I worked at Kilakala secondary school in Morogoro, Tanzania. Amongst my many very good friends at this school were the Maryknoll sisters Geneva, Maureen and Teruku. I would very much get in contact with them again. Can you please help me. Kind regards Karin Hanze, Sweden

This is a note to say hello to Father Howard O'Brien. Father Howard, my dad Bob, and Brother Paul and I were talking about you the other day and I volunteered to find out what you might be up to these days. I found you on the web! So you are still in Africa, after all of these years. I trust that you are well and that life has been good to you. I would love to hear from you sometime. May I take a moment at this sacred time of year to wish you all the blessings of this season. Fondly, Sue

Hi to any body that has an answer for me > In the last few years our parishes in our area are closing because of lack of priest,four churches with no more masses or just a few a month. I hear that Africa has many new priest being ordain every year, it this true ? and why could we not have some of their new ordained be installed in our area ? to keep our churches from closing ?Thank you for any body that has an answer for me .Lew Of Maine

Hello to everyone!. I like to request a prayer for a priest named Father Daniel Petelin, who is in a mission in Parakou-Benin, Africa. He is not a Maryknoll father, but he is a missionary catholic priest, and he needs our prayers because his mission does not receive any support from outside Africa. Thank you for your prayers, and God Bless you all!

I am glad to read the website. I will have the privilage of visiting St. Mary's and Fr/Dr Bill Fryda in early September, as I pass through on my way to work in a mission hospital for a month in Kigoma, Tanzania. I am looking forward to some way to combine our efforts in a long-term way in the future, which could include exchanges of medical students and faculty from my medical school here in Los Angeles. Congratulations Fr. Bill Fryda, and don't forget to send someone to the airport to pick me up! I'll be easy to find.. I'll be that confused looking white guy with all the bags!

I was glad to stumble upon this WEB site, when I was trying to get on to maryknoll,net. What makes me happiest about it is that all those people to whom I talk on a week-end church date might also stumble upon it. Whomever I direct to look for Maryknoll on the WEB might also find an option like this one. I hope all you folks have enough water for these dry days. Ken

Your Website of the Marknoll missioneries is the best I've ever come across. It elaborates and answers a lot of questions to whatever thing one needs to know! My gracious God!! Congrats!! I would very much want to meet this group of people probably starting from Tanzania Dar-esSalaam sometime next month and be a part of it since I am very much interested in community work/development. Please get in touch with me on the above e-mail address thanks. Lilian.

I am an old family friend of Father Eybel. I was delighted by the web site, to see some of John's ministry. It feels strange calling him John as we always called him Bud as kids. As time passes and the world gets smaller I feel more and more like a world citizen in a world community with concerns which reflect these changes. Hope to see you this year John when you are visiting your alternate home.

I am one of the visitors who came to the site of St. Mary's Hospital in Nairobi. Our parish, St. Bonaventure, has been very involved in raising funds to assist with the payment for the hospital. Is there a particular email address by which the young children in our parish could correspond with other children or messages can be printed up to give to people in the hospital. We keep many of the pictures of our Nairobi experience before our parish community. We know that you are doing wonderfully with the many talents and resources. It was so hopeful for all of us to be able to share in God's blessings among the poor. Asanta Sana!
