A 36 Year Journey - Missioner reflects on three decades of mission life
My name is Ronald Bosse, but people just call me “Bosse.” I have been a Maryknoll Lay Missioner for more than 30 years. My wife Carolyn and I have dedicated our entire mission career to working with Latin American indigenous people. We have served the Aymara in the Peruvian and Bolivian Altiplano, the indigenous people of the Argentinean Patagonia, and currently the Mapuche of southern Chile.
Carolyn and I would like to share our story with you.

Without our donors, Jim, (r.), could not have been present to stop a corrupt police force from abusing Marcos, (l.). Will you continue to join MKLM in human rights advocacy? | Man with mental illness receives human rights support Missioner fights to save Marcos from human rights abuse and social neglect Steeped in poverty and violence, the streets of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, are plagued by intense drug wars. The heavy presence of police offers only a history of violations of human rights. Marcos calls these troubled streets home. | Marcos was just 14 when his mother died, leaving him to fend for himself in the hard-to-survive streets of Juarez. Any kid would struggle. The fact that Marcos is mentally ill makes his struggle that much more difficult for all of us to imagine. But you have eased his burden. |
