IT administrators, I skip it, but often I find new techniques. TR Dojo
often gives very practical advice.

On The Threshold



Sister Claudette LaVerdiere, M.M.

On the Threshold of the Future: The Life and Spirituality of Mother Mary Joseph Rogers, Founder of the Maryknoll Sisters
Everybody is reading and quoting Sister Claudette's new book on the spirituality of Mother Mary Joseph.
Maryknoll Fathers are citing it in their homilies. Fr. Emile Dumas made great use of it in the Guided Retreat he offered recently.
We have a new treasure to ponder and reflect upon. It not only includes delightful new information on Mother Mary Joseph's life, but also inspiration for  everyday as we proclaim the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth!

Avaliable at online bookstores.



Another Maryknoll Sister Writer

Sister Mary Boyce, M.M.

Call Me Pop is available at online stores

Catholicism

Journey Around the World and Deep into the Faith

The creator and host is Fr. Robert Barron

The series was filmed in 50 locations and in the streets. It is truly an inspiring series of 10 DVD's now available in Rogers Library.

Our Sister Joanna Chan was one of the consultants.

Crusade Magazine

Over and over again, throughout the years, requests come in about Crusade Magazine. Produced by Sisters Juliana and Chaminade many years ago with beautiful illustrations and fascinating stories about biblical and catechetical themes for a child audience, it was treasured by many who are parents today.  In these days of graphic novels, parents continue to ask if we still publish it. Of course, we never were the publishers, but it was a Maryknoll publication.
If you have never seen it, the entire collection was recently donated to us. Outdated now as to content, it is still filled with lovely visuals.
The Collection will be on display during November.
