Advanced Missionary

 Discipleship Formation Seminar

2025 Program

Prophets, Poets and People Power: 

Cultivating Hope Through Intergenerational and Global Solidarity in Times of Upheaval

Monday, September 8 - Friday, September 12 2025

A committed missionary knows the joy of being a spring which spills over and refreshes others. Only the person who feels happiness in seeking the good of others, in desiring their happiness, can be a missionary.  

~Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium 272.


The Christian identity card is joy, the Gospel’s joy, the joy of having been chosen by Jesus, saved by Jesus, regenerated by Jesus; the joy of that hope that Jesus is waiting for us, the joy that - even with the crosses and sufferings we bear in this life - is expressed in another way, which is peace in the certainty that Jesus accompanies us, is with us. ~Pope Francis

Sponsored by: Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, Maryknoll Lay Missioners, Maryknoll Sisters, Maryknoll Affiliates and the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns 

Go deeper in your understanding of mission and evangelization.

Continue to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to teach and inspire others to live out their own call as missionary disciples.

Advanced Missionary Discipleship Formation Seminars include:

  • A deeper look at the mission narrative from our Scriptural and historical foundations to better understand our own response to God's invitation to participate in the mission of love

  • An examination of mission within our own context and culture and how that relates and connects to a more global understanding of mission grounded in solidarity.

  • How to grow in our own identity as a missionary and encourage and support a spirituality grounded in mission for others

  • How to become more effective and engaging in forming others to respond to their own baptismal call to mission

  • Best practices for developing mission education components and programs at the school, parish and diocesan level

Upon successful completion the participant will have:

    • Developed a deeper understanding of mission, their own identity as a mission educator and continued to develop a spirituality based on global solidarity

    • Advanced competence to do mission education presentations and incorporate mission into curricula and programs

    • Confidence to assist other parish ministers to incorporate mission into their identity and programs

    • Training necessary to become an instructor of Module One Basic Mission Education Training Session (above).

Prerequisites:  Fundamental understanding of the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, the Synod process  and the lived experience of  missionary discipleship.  Preference given for previous participation in Missionary Discipleship formation programs, immersive experiences, and pastoral theological reflection.
