The Maryknoll Society has spent over 100 years atop Sunset Hill in Ossining, New York. The property has evolved much over that time, with new buildings replacing the old and greenery from around the world sprouting across the campus. As a way to celebrate our beautiful campus, The Maryknoll Mission Archives presents the Maryknoll Society Center Walking Tour!
It offers a window into the unique architecture, rich history, and the simple beauty of the Maryknoll Society’s home. The Walking Tour features 12 Points Of Interest, with each giving a bit of history along with a comparison of historic and modern images. Explore the grounds, learn about our history, and see the evolution yourself!
Music is universal. It is found in every part of the world, and unites people beyond spoken language or shared culture. Maryknollers have experienced the power of music in mission for more than 100 years.
In this exhibit, we take a closer look to see how missioners use music to connect with each other, God, and their communities. We focus on three elements of musical expression – composition, teaching, and performance. We also share missioners’ reflections on the role of music in their lives and ministries.
Since its inception, Maryknoll has shown American Catholics a world beyond their own experience, especially through books. Maryknoll has published dozens of books about the Fathers, Brothers, and Sisters’ missions.
In this exhibit, we discover how three Maryknoll books were created and how they introduced the public to Maryknoll’s work and to cultures most Americans had yet to explore.
