Maryknoll Call and Response is a program designed to provide opportunities for service for people from all walks of life. Participants are involved in a variety of services, and learn that in giving they receive much more in return. In the program, the participants strive to live the Gospel, and find Jesus in the people of Mexico with whom they serve.

"My mission experience has made me realize the importance of happiness and developing relationships as opposed to economic success and social status. In our society, this is very challenging, but my experience in Oaxaca has made me realize that it is all worthwhile."
- Patricia Sullivan

Dear Lord,
As I face the many paths before me, I pray that You will be my guide.
Help me recognize the mission You have chosen for me alone.

As I chart the course of my future, may I do so with faith and love,
knowing that I cannot be thrown off course if my heart is set on You.

Give me grace to find the one true path that will bring me happiness
and will one day lead me to Your kingdom.
Amen
