Please join us for the second mission forum of 2013 – we are honored to welcome Fr. Douglas May, MM, a Maryknoll missioner and the only U.S.-born Catholic priest serving in Egypt.

Fr. Doug will speak on his 18 years of experience as a Catholic missioner in Cairo – he will discuss the socio-political, interreligious and economic realities of Egypt, the current Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and more broadly about the Arab-Israeli issue in terms of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
